MOCA

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) is a short, standardized test designed to evaluate different aspects of a person's thinking and memory skills. It helps doctors identify early signs of cognitive problems, such as those caused by conditions like Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The test covers areas like memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and visuospatial skills. It's quick to administer, usually taking about 10 minutes, and provides valuable information to assist in diagnosis and treatment planning.
