Computerized Neurocognitive Battery

The Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (CNB) provides standardized computerized assessments for children and adults, supporting research and clinical applications in neuropsychological evaluation. The CNB comprises of a set of computerized tasks that have been validated with functional neuroimaging that measure accuracy and speed across multiple cognitive domains including Executive Function, Episodic Memory, Complex Cognition, Social Cognition, Reward Processing, and Sensorimotor Speed.

Over the years, the CNB has been updated and refined, most recently with a computerized adaptive version (CAT-CNB). These developments have enabled its widespread use in assessing individual differences across:

• Healthy individuals of all ages
• Participants with impairments
• Genomic variation
• Patient groups with different diagnoses
• Astronauts in space

The CNB makes it practical to measure neurocognitive performance at scale, supporting its use as a biomarker of brain-system functioning in neuropsychiatric disorders.
