SAGE - A Test to Measure Thinking Abilities

Diagnosis and treatment of human illness should be based collectively on medical history, including family medical history, and a physical examination along with a doctor's professional judgment and review of all test results. The material contained in the Instrument does not contain standards that are meant to be applied rigidly and followed in virtually all cases. Physicians' judgment must remain central to the selection of diagnostic tests and therapy options of a specific patient's medical condition.

Naturalistic Action Test (NAT) The NAT is a clinical assessment of learned, sequential, object-oriented behavior in the service of everyday goals (i.e., multi-step or naturalistic action).

Naturalistic Action Test (NAT)

Participants perform three tasks (make toast and coffee; gift-wrap a present; pack a child's lunchbox and schoolbag) under controlled laboratory conditions, and their performance is scored for accuracy and a variety of error types. The NAT, and its predecessor, the Multi-level Action Test (MLAT), have been used to characterize how naturalistic action is impacted by neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), and left and right hemisphere stroke. The data obtained from the NAT has entered into theoretical debates on the cognitive requirements of routine action, the nature of semantic memory for objects, and the meaning of ideational apraxia.
