Story recall and word lists: differential and combined utilities in predicting cognitive diagnosis. Differentiating levels of cognitive functioning: a comparison of the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) and the Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool (BCAT) in a nursing home sample. The Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool (BCAT): a new test emphasizing contextual memory, executive functions, attentional capacity, and the prediction of instrumental activities of daily living. Neuropsychol Dev Cogn B Aging Neuropsychol Cogn, 21(6), 674-692. Preliminary investigation of the Kitchen Picture Test (KPT): a new screening test of practical judgment for older adults. The brief cognitive assessment tool (BCAT): cross-validation in a community dwelling older adult sample. The Judgment Test of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NAB): psychometric considerations in an assisted-living sample. Excellent predictive validity for identifying cognitive impairment (versus no cognitive impairment): Area under the Curve =.001, Cohen’s d = 1.62) from participants who were cognitively intact on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Excellent predictive validity to differentiate participants who exhibited cognitive impairment on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (t(31.11) = 6.10, p 98)Ĭommunity-dwelling adults: (Mansbach et al., in press) Excellent predictive validity for identifying dementia (versus MCI): Area under the Curve =.Excellent ability to predict cognitive diagnosis accounting for 47% of the variance in Clinical Dementia Rating scores over and above the Brief Interview for Mental Status.Excellent ability to differentiate among five categories of cognitive functioning (normal, MCI, mild dementia, moderate dementia, and severe dementia) (F (4, 186) = 381.0, p =.Skilled nursing facilities: (Mansbach, Mace, & Clark, 2014) Excellent predictive validity for identifying dementia (versus MCI): Area under the Curve =. Conclusion: Our results suggest the normal range in MoCA score for the community- dwelling rural senior to be between 22 and 30.

Trail making requires cognitive flexibility generated through the dorsolateral and medial prefrontal cortices.Assisted living facilities: (Mansbach et al., 2012).

At the end of the second trial, inform the subject that (s)he will be asked to recall these words again by saying, “ I will ask you to recall those words again at the end of the test.” Try to remember and tell me as many words as you can, including words you said the first time.” Put a check in the allocated space for each word the subject recalls after the second trial. When the subject indicates that (s)he has finished (has recalled all words), or can recall no more words, read the list a second time with the following instructions: “ I am going to read the same list for a second time. It doesn’t matter in what order you say them.” Mark a check in the allocated space for each word the subject produces on this first trial. When I am through, tell me as many words as you can remember. I am going to read a list of words that you will have to remember now and later on. Read a list of 5 words at a rate of 1 word per second, giving the following instructions: “ This is a memory test.
