Cognitive Development in Bogotá, Colombia

What is cognitive development?

It is the growth of skills such as attention, memory, language, reasoning and the ability to plan and organize. In children, the goal is to reach the skills expected for their age; in adults, to maintain or recover them after an injury or illness.

Which specialist evaluates it?

A neuropsychologist performs the assessment with specific tests and identifies which areas need support. A pediatric neurologist or neurologist rules out medical causes. Intervention may involve a psychologist, educational psychologist, occupational therapist and music therapist, who uses music to stimulate attention and memory.

When should you seek help?

In children: trouble concentrating, learning or following instructions, or persistently low school performance. In adults: forgetfulness that affects daily life, difficulty getting organized, or changes after a stroke or head injury.
