What It Measures

The Cognitive Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ) asks a different question from most cognitive tools. Not "can you do this?" but "do you believe you can do something about it?" A person may fully recognize that their thinking has changed and still not believe any strategy would help — and that belief, more than the impairment itself, can keep them from trying.

Four parts can be used separately or together. Part I asks how confident someone is that they would notice a cognitive symptom while it is happening. Part II asks how certain they are they could manage it. Part III presents six real scenarios and asks them to name the challenges and generate strategies. Part IV covers confidence in everyday demanding tasks. Every item is rated 0 to 10.
