The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a 10-minute, 30-point screening tool used to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
It is one part of testing a patient's cognitive abilities,not an IQ test.

Dromedary and a Bachtrian Camel.
The tough one will be the extinct North American prehistoric camel. They're just bones now, can't tell if they were single or double humped, or if they had a hump structure at all.

I'm only good at remembering all five if I can take a few seconds to make up some phrase to help commit them to memory.

unfair. I'm a visual person -- need to see them in writing to recall them. Same with numbers.

With numbers, if it's no longer than eight digits, I can make a mental image. So that I can probably recall quickly.

Words are harder for short term memory. Unless I make some kind of correlation, like I did with the ones in the diagram.

Red Face, Velvet Daisy, Church. See, I can still recall them hours later because I made associations with them.

etc." The guy who came up with the test said that djt's version of his test couldn't be correct because the words were too closely correlated, which he says he purposely avoided when he devised the test.

The big swollen area under his eys, his right cheek looks he has been slapped, and his mouth is
dropping. There will be a time soon that Botox and surgery will longer be able to hide the signs of
a stroke. The man just had an MRI of his brain and was given a cognitive test which happen post
strokes.

Horn dog. A lot of people are calling them that. People in places like Chicago and Spain. Look at the horn dog, some people say in those places. Not my name for it. It's there's. The last one no one knows. No one. It's not even an animal. Let's skip it and start drawing a clock.

If I had been given that cube to draw at 20yo, I would not have been able to do it. I took many psych. classes and we had to, in one class, come up with a project dealing with memory. This one guy actually did the word memory test and asked me to participate. I was twenty something and didn’t do great then. I am in my sixties now and question if I would do well now!

It was like 3 hours of nonstop mental activities that left me feeling drained at the end of it. Found out that my short-term memory is slipping, but at least I’m going into old age with eyes open about it. Comforting to find that all other metrics are intact.

You can’t convince me that the orange menace has gone through anything as stringent as the testing I had done. If he had, I’m certain there would be significant deficiencies. The fucker slides into dementia like an old man slipping into a warm bath, apparently oblivious to the inevitable decline that awaits.
