cognitive challenges

Thinking skill tests

Cognitive challenges are difficulties with mental processes like memory, attention, problem-solving, or learning.

The phrase often serves as a euphemism for intellectual disability or developmental conditions, softening more clinical terms: The program supports students with cognitive challenges.

It can also describe temporary mental obstacles anyone might face: Sleep deprivation creates cognitive challenges for new parents.
