Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery

Okay little one, you know how sometimes you go to the doctor and they want to check how well your body is working? Well, sometimes doctors want to check how well your brain is working too.

The Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB for short) is like a computer game that is used to check how well your brain can do different things, like remember things, think quickly, or pay attention to certain things.

When you play the computer game, it tests your brain and gives the doctor information about how well your brain is working. This can help them figure out if there are any problems with the way your brain is working, like if you have trouble remembering things, or if you have trouble paying attention.

So think of it like a really cool computer game that helps the doctor know how to make sure your brain is happy and healthy!
