Study Notes

Cognitive Function Assessment

Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most commonly utilized cognitive screening tool.
MMSE tests various cognitive domains including orientation, attention, memory, language, and visual-spatial skills.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) is a more comprehensive tool that takes longer to administer.
MOCA assesses additional cognitive areas, specifically frontal lobe and executive functions.
Both tests are used to identify cognitive impairment in clinical settings, but MOCA provides a broader evaluation of cognitive abilities.
