Type/Purpose of Test: This test addresses cognitive concerns in the areas of orientation, memory, and concentration. The purpose of this test is to serve as a screening tool to determine cognitive changes associated with dementia. Although this test is sensitive and reliable in detecting early cognitive impairments, is should not be used to diagnose a dementing disorder and further assessments would need to be administered.

Population: Anyone at risk for cognitive impairment associated with memory and concentration, most likely associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
