Occupational therapists frequently assess cognition with older adults, yet little is known about which assessments they use, and for what purposes. This study examined Canadian occupational therapists' use of cognitive assessments with older adults. A random sample of 1042 occupational therapists was invited to complete a questionnaire by email, post or web (response rate 24.5%, n=247). Respondents identified 75 standardized and non-standardized measures, of which 21 (28%) were not previously found in the occupational therapy literature. The assessments were grouped according to theoretical approach: bottom-up (assessment of cognitive components) or top-down (assessment of function). Theoretical approaches were used similarly across regions, despite differences for particular assessments. Most bottom-up assessments were standardized, used to identify deficits and were easy to administer. Most top-down assessments were non-standardized, identified deficits and predicted, and fit with therapy needs. The development of standardized assessments which assess cognition through daily living activities would support evidence-based occupational therapy.
