Executive Function is a term used to refer to a set of supervisory processes that are involved in a wide range of cognitive functions including planning, focussing attention, goal directed persistence, flexibility, organization, response inhibition and emotional self-regulation. Executive functions are critical life skills that predict success at school and in personal and professional life. Localised in the frontal lobe of the brain, deficits in executive functioning are often associated with conditions such as ADHD, Learning disabilities and even Depression.

Visual Spatial Reasoning is the ability to visualize and understand spatial relations among objects. Visual Spatial Reasoning is the kind of thinking that Nobel Laureate Albert Einstein may have used to imagine himself chasing a beam of light in his famous thought experiment - An experiment that is said to have played a significant role in his development of the theory of special relativity. It is also what we use to read maps, architects use to design buildings or doctors use to understand Brain MRI scans by visualizing the 3-D structure of the brain from the 2-D visual images produced by the MRI machine. From Architecture to Science, Engineering to Computers, visual spatial reasoning plays a critical role in our lives.

Abstract reasoning is the human faculty that helps us detect patterns, identify relationships between events and objects, analyse situations and solve problems. It forms the core of what we commonly understand as human intelligence and is involved in understanding concepts and ideas that may not always have a physical basis. Abstract reasoning helps us derive deeper insights from ordinary things through the techniques of logic. Formulating a theory, writing a computer program, understanding a metaphor or an analogy or synthesizing a new idea from existing information - all require abstract reasoning in one form or the other.

Processing speed is a measure of cognitive efficiency in simple, automatic cognitive tasks. Apart from simple reaction time, processing speed also tends to incorporate ability to sustain attention, perception and motivation. Processing speed manifests itself in day to day activities and influences a wide range of activities including reading, writing, performing mathematical calculations, visual search and making decisions.
