The MoCA is available in more than 35 languages. Unlike the MMSE, it is free for non-profit use. It checks executive function, an important part of dementia thats not measured by the MMSE. The value of this test in MS has been validated formerly (Dagenais et al., 2013). The MoCA is brief, simple, and reliable as a screening test for Alzheimers disease. Trail making requires cognitive flexibility generated through the dorsolateral and medial prefrontal cortices. The MoCA is used as a screening tool for periodic cognitive testing in our clinical practice. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was designed as a rapid screening instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction.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. Discuss cognitive assessment results and next steps with patients and providers.

This video depicts the administration of the MoCA cognitive assessment instrument, conducted as a result of the patient failing a Mini-Cog. 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.
