Could this be a misspelling of "Merkfähigkeit"? This would tie in with "Hirnleistungsstörungen". Just a guess...

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Melanie Nassar : I think so, even some of the occurrences of Mehrfähigkeit in German sites make the same mistake: "Hirnleistung wird angeregt und die Konzentrations- und Mehrfähigkeit gesteigert."
