Cognitive Focus Log
Assess concentration, memory, and mental clarity throughout the day. Captures cognitive performance on tasks, distractibility, and mental fog. Useful for ADHD studies, cognitive enhancement trials, and aging research.
About This Template
Cognitive function affects productivity, safety, and quality of life, but is challenging to measure outside laboratory settings. This Cognitive Focus Log enables participants to self-report their subjective experience of mental performance in real-world contexts.
The log assesses concentration ability, memory recall, mental processing speed, and clarity of thought. Participants rate their cognitive state at different times of day, note factors that seem to improve or impair focus (like caffeine, sleep quality, stress), and document any episodes of mental fog or confusion.
This template is valuable for studies on ADHD interventions, nootropic supplements, aging and cognitive decline, traumatic brain injury recovery, and medications with potential cognitive side effects. It can also be paired with objective cognitive tests to validate subjective reports.
The simple daily format encourages consistent completion while capturing enough detail to identify patterns and track changes over time. Questions are designed to be understandable without requiring specialized knowledge of cognitive science terminology.
