Document Summary
Assess orientation to time and place, attention, and memory. Correlates well with face-to-face test scores in diagnosing ad. Measures the presence and severity of cognitive impairment regarding orientation to time and place, memory for personal information, and serial subtraction. Evaluates verbal memory and orientation to time and place. Measures attention, verbal short-term memory, cognitive abstraction, and health issues. Allows to discriminate between subjects with dementia and those without. High correlation to the face-to-face version of the test. Discriminated reliably between ad and healthy cognitively normal subjects. Designed to address lower end of cognitive ability spectrum. Discriminates between mild cognitively impaired and cognitively normal individuals. Discriminate between normal cognitive functioning and early. Mis-t demonstrated to be more robust than the tics in discriminating dementia from normal cognitive functioning. Can discriminate between mci of ad and normal subjects. Not suitable in studies addressing normal cognitive aging (due to ceiling effects) Further work needed to determine its applicability in wider community settings.
