Screening Tests for Cognitive Decline

April 10, 2019
From The Carlat Psychiatry Report
Issue Links: Learning Objectives | Editorial Information | PDF of Issue
Screening tests can also help distinguish normal aging from a Neurocognitive Disorder. The popular Mini Mental Status Exam is being replaced by more sensitive tests like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and the Saint Louis University Mental Status Examination (SLUMS). Both of these can be completed in 10 minutes and are normed for Mild and Major Neurocognitive Disorders. An abbreviated form of the SLUMS, the Rapid Cognitive Screen, can be administered in 5 minutes.

  • Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) Examination

  • Rapid Cognitive Screen (brief version of SLUM)

  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (the test is free with registration)
