04FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Mentation a medical device?
No. Mentation is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. It is for educational purposes only. If you have concerns about your cognitive health, talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
Do I need an account to use Mentation?
No. You can start measuring immediately as a guest with no sign-up. Guest results are stored only on your device. Signing in with Apple or Google lets you keep your results across devices and reinstalls.
What's free in Mentation?
One exercise in each of the three core measurement areas (Simple Reaction Time, Digit Span Forward, Sequence Memory) is free with full features: 30-day trend chart, personal baseline, and best score. One free game is also available in each of the five Training Field skill groups.
Does Mentation have a free trial?
The Annual plan includes a 7-day free trial, available once per account. You are not charged during the trial, and the annual price is only charged automatically if you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. The Weekly plan has no trial and is charged immediately. Current pricing for both plans is shown in the App / App Store at checkout.
What is a baseline, and how is it calculated?
Your baseline for each core exercise is the average of your first three completed sessions. After that, every new result is compared to your baseline and shown as a percentage delta, so you can see whether you're improving relative to your own starting point rather than a generic score.
