Summary
This study created a conversion table for the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores. This tool aids in comparing cognitive screening results for neurocognitive disorders.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Gerontology
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Early detection of cognitive decline is crucial for timely intervention and treatment.
- The Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) are widely used cognitive screening tools with distinct profiles.
- Clinician preferences for MMSE or MoCA may vary, necessitating score comparability.
Conclusions:
- A comprehensive MMSE-MoCA conversion table is provided for direct comparison of cognitive screening scores.
- This tool is valuable for tracking cognitive changes in patients with neurocognitive disorders over time.
- Facilitates consistent interpretation of cognitive screening results in clinical practice.

Alfred Binet, along with his student Théophile Simon, was tasked by the French Ministry of Education in 1904 to create a method for identifying students who struggled to learn through conventional classroom instruction. This initiative aimed to address overcrowding by placing such students in specialized schools. Binet and Simon developed an intelligence test comprising 30 tasks, ranging from simple commands, like touching one's nose or ear, to more complex tasks, such as drawing...

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
