  The purpose of the above article was to examine standardised and non-standardised assessments used by Canadian occupational therapists to evaluate cognition. 1042 Canadian Occupational Therapists completed a questionnaire. The study described a wide range of cognitive assessment used with older adults. The survey into the practice of cognitive assessment demonstrated that the majority of therapists who use top-down assessments were using non-standardised assessments. The top-down assessments fitted with the theoretical approach, which for occupational therapists emphasised client-centeredness and the importance of meaningful activity.
