My assessment states "Some cognitive preservations were noted".

I have no clue what this means, and google hasn't been very helpful. Anyone have any ideas?

To the best of my understanding, that sounds like an unnecessarily obtuse term for ‘memories’ ?

lol, so I have some memories? Doesn't everyone? That doesn't seem necessary to put in an assessment!

Oh! Another thought that occurred to me is it might mean ‘coping mechanism’
Ie preserving a habit or way of thinking, via coping mechanism?

Maybe ask for clarification on this? It’s your assessment and you deserve to understand it thoroughly.

I know what perseverating is but Preservation is something else, no? Or do you think it might’ve been a typo?

Preseveration is not a word so I assumed it was a typo :)

Oh but it was written preservation as in ‘preservation of life’ which is a word
i’m confused now. Ok it was definitely a typo though!

That's the best explanation that I've read so far.
