COGNITIVE_FITNESS

Cognitive fitness reflects how quickly you are able to see, understand and act.

Cognitive Processing Speed measures your cognitive fitness, which is a composition of various cognitive skills.

Examples of these cognitive skills are:

  • The ability to focus your attention on a single stimulation

  • A contextual memory, that enables you to recall the source and circumstance of a certain event

  • Good hand-eye coordination

  • The ability to execute more than one action at a time

The higher your Cognitive Processing Speed, the more efficient your ability to think and learn.

Chronic stress is likely to negatively affect key cognitive functions such as memory, reaction times, attention span, and concentration skills. It is also likely that high stress levels will cause performance variability.

When monitoring your cognitive fitness, these components are used (privacy is ensured and there's no tracking in terms of content):

  • Your tapping speed

  • Your typing speed

  • Your unlocking speed

  • Your app locating speed (how long it takes you to find apps that you're using)

The score doesn't measure your efficiency in using your smartphone or executing one particular task. The focus is on the totality and consistency of your behaviour, not on certain maximum scores. Individual actions do not contribute to an increase or decrease in your score, e.g. if it takes you a little longer to find something because you were busy doing something else at the same time.
