Word frequency lists are a key component of cognitive testing used to validate and standardize the test. Cognitive testing describes the process of accurately measuring cognitive function (decision making, problem solving, memory, response time and concentration). Damage to the brain whether through disease (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ADHD, Epilepsy, etc.) or injury, can effect cognitive function.
Our word frequency lists enable you to create a valid instrument by eliminating any cultural and regional bias. Companies validate these tests on a global scale by using word frequency lists in multiple languages. For example, we supply one company with 30 separate languages for their annual cognitive test to detect early Alzheimer's disease.
Clean lists, prompt delivery and 24/7 service whenever I had questions. Our cognitive testing would not have been as thorough or valid without the languages you provided.”
