Abstract

AbstractIn this article, we describe the development of the Cognition Battery (CB) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox for the Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function. The goal of the NIH Toolbox initiative was to provide a brief, comprehensive tool to assess cognitive, emotional, motor, and sensory function in various settings, emphasizing outcomes in clinical trials and functional status in large‐scale epidemiological and longitudinal studies. The CB assesses six key subdomains of cognition from 3 to 85 years, assesses typical function, is brief and easy to administer, is available without charge, and can be modified to reflect scientific and technological advances. It is also child friendly, making it a useful tool for developmental science.
