Our group & collaborators developed several tests over the years. We offer currently 4 of these tests for free downloading. Please note that the tests are freely available to be used by health professionals but we require registering before downloading a copy of the tests.
You will have access to the tests once you complete a brief form. The registration allows us to contact you if there are any changes or updated versions of the tests available. You can also download the relevant publications the test validation, as well as normative data (if available), administration and scoring instructions.
The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination is currently being revised. It is no longer available for free downloading on this website. Please email Sharpley Hsieh (s.hsieh@neura.edu.au) for more information or if you would like to be informed when the new version becomes available.
The Cambridge Semantic Memory Test Battery was developed over a decade in Cambridge to explore semantic memory using the same set of stimuli (n=64 half living and half manmade) and tested using different modalities of input and output. The original battery had multiple subtests some of which were time consuming or complex to score. Those that are easy to administer and score have been retained in the core battery comprising: category fluency, picture naming, word-picture matching (or category comprehension) and the picture-picture version of the camel and cactus test (based on the earlier pyramids and palm trees test).
