Cognitive functions are the mental operations that enable information acquisition, processing,
storing, and retrieval. These abilities cover a broad spectrum of tasks, including as perception,
decision-making, problem-solving, attention, memory, and language. Cognitive assessments
are used to gauge different facets of cognitive performance. These evaluations aid in the
understanding of a person's cognitive capacities, the identification of cognitive strengths and
weaknesses, and the detection of any indications of cognitive impairment or decline. Some
assessments include Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Rey Auditory Verbal
Learning Test (RAVLT), Trail Making Test (TMT), Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Assessment and
so on.
The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE) is used to evaluate a variety of cognitive
abilities, including language, attention, memory, and visuospatial skills. It was created as a
dementia and other cognitive illness screening tool.
The tests included in the various ACE versions, such as the ACE-III (Third Edition) and the
ACE-R (Revised), with variations in the tests. The ACE is frequently used to detect cognitive
impairment and track changes in cognitive performance over time in clinical settings.

- Explanation of significant results from the table.

Interpretation
- The subject does not show any signs of functional cognitive deficits. (Attribution of
deficit- like if there is memory deficit then there is executive functioning deficit.
Functional deficit)
