It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation. The MoCA may be administered by anyone who understands and follows the instructions, however, only a health professional with expertise in the cognitive field may interpret the results. Time to administer the MoCA is approximately 10 minutes. The total possible score is 30 points; a score of 26 or above is considered normal.  \nAll instructions may be repeated once.  \n1. Alternating Trail Making:  \nAdministration: The examiner instructs the subject: \"Please draw a line going from a number to a letter in ascending order. Begin here [point to (1)] and draw a line from 1 then to A then to 2 and so on. End here [point to (E)] .\"  \nScoring: One point is allocated if the subject successfully draws the following pattern:  \n1-A-2-B-3-C-4-D-5-E, without drawing any lines that cross. Any error that is not immediately self-corrected (meaning corrected before moving on to the Cube task) earns a score of 0. A point is not allocated if the subject draws a line to connect the end (E) to the beginning (1) .  \n2. Visuoconstructional Skills (Cube):  \nAdministration: The examiner gives the following instructions, pointing to the cube:“Copy this drawing as accurately as you can.”  \nScoring: One point is allocated for a correctly executed drawing.  \n• Drawing must be three-dimensional.  \n• All lines are drawn.  \n• All lines meet with little or no space.  \n• No line is added.  \n• Lines are relatively parallel and their length is similar (rectangular prisms are accepted) .  \n• The cube’s orientation in space must be preserved.  \nA point is not assigned if any of the above criteria is not met.  \n3. Visuoconstructional Skills (Clock):  \nAdministration: The examiner must ensure that the subject does not look at his/her watch while performing the task and that no clocks are in sight. The examiner indicates the appropriate space and gives the following instructions: “Draw a clock. Put in all the numbers and set the time to 10 past 11.”  \nScoring: One point is allocated for each of the following three criteria:  \n• Contour (1 pt.): the clock contour must be drawn (either a circle or a square) . Only minor distortions are acceptable (e.g., slight imperfection on closing the circle) . If the numbers are arranged in a circular manner but the contour is not drawn the contour is scored as incorrect.  \n• Numbers (1 pt.): all clock numbers must be present with no additional numbers. Numbers must be in the correct order, upright and placed in the approximate quadrants on the clock face. Roman numerals are acceptable. The numbers must be arranged in a circular manner (even if the contour is a square). All numbers must either be placed inside or outside the clock contour. If the subject places some numbers inside the clock contour and some outside the clock contour,(s)he does not receive a point for Numbers.  \n• Hands (1 pt.): there must be two hands jointly indicating the correct time. The hour hand must be clearly shorter than the minute hand. Hands must be centered within the clockface with their junction close to the clock center.  \n4. Naming:  \nAdministration: Beginning on the left, the examiner points to each figure and says: “Tell me the name of this animal.”  \nScoring: One point is given for each of the following responses: (1) lion (2) rhinoceros or rhino (3) camel or dromedary.  \n5. Memory:  \nAdministration: The examiner reads a list of five words at a rate of one per second, giving the following instructions: “This is a memory test. I am going to read a list of words that you will have to remember now and later on. Listen carefully. When Iam through, tell me as","cbCaijuThyeYtBEa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijuThyeYtBEa","pdf",1095404,12,"English","# Administration and Scoring Instructions\n## General administration overview\n## 1.
