Kwika Indicator

The Kwik Exponent is a mathematical measure proposed by Alan J. Quick in 1992. It is used to assess the mental abilities of patients with various cognitive impairments.

The Kwik score is based on the Kwik test, which assesses attention, working memory, and processing speed. The test consists of three parts:

1. Naming the location of points on the page.

2. Symbolic-digital mapping.

3. Graphics memory.

Kwik's score is calculated based on the number of correct answers and the time it takes to complete each part of the test. It allows you to quantitatively assess cognitive functions and monitor dynamics during treatment or rehabilitation.

The indicator is widely used by neuropsychologists and doctors to diagnose and monitor diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. It is sensitive to small changes in cognitive function and can detect impairment at an early stage.
