The MoCA test, or Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is a widely used screening tool designed to assess cognitive function. It's often used to detect mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and other forms of dementia. The test evaluates various cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, language, visual-spatial skills, and executive functions. It's typically a 10-minute test, consisting of tasks like drawing a clock, recalling a list of words, and identifying animals.
Healthcare professionals use the MoCA test to gauge cognitive health and identify early signs of cognitive decline, which can then lead to further testing or early intervention.
