    The document lists assessment tools that can be used to evaluate different elements of cognition. It identifies tools such as naming, reading, and writing to assess language functions, and copying figures or drawing clock faces to evaluate visuospatial ability. Tests of abstract reasoning include explaining proverbs or comparing objects, while executive functions can be assessed using tasks like list-making or drawing clock faces. General intellectual level considers identifying past presidents in context of education and socioeconomic factors. Attention is assessed using tasks like spelling words backwards or serial subtraction, while memory can be evaluated using the Mini-Cog or MMSE tests.
