Montreal Cognitive Assessment - I Guess I am Just Not as Smart as the President

OK, so some people found the remark offensive so I apologize and won’t make that comment again here.

But what makes you think that no non-human animals “care” about their gender? The consciousness of non-human animals are probably so vastly different from human consciousness that we could never comprehend or even imagine what it might be like. Nonetheless, many animals that reproduce sexually are probably aware of sexuality and gender in their own way. To think that the camel, which is more related to humans than it is related to most other animals on the planet, has no "thoughts’ on the matter is, in my opinion, a very narrow-minded and speciest world view.

Where might have you heard that one before?

Sorry, swing and a… missed that one.

I’ve heard recently that the last few questions are very difficult. So now I’m concerned that those questions are date, month, year, day, place, and city.

Not that easy. To really impress, you have to get those in the right order.

You got me. I just assumed a cube would emerge without actually trying it. Person, woman, man, TV, camera.

I (belatedly) realized that “problem 1” is actually “problem 1(a)” and “problem 1(b).” (a) measures how well you can follow an established sequence; (b) measures how well you can replicate an existing drawing. While somewhat related, they’re going after two different functions.

Some versions of the MMSE ask who is the president. “That rat bastard” is insufficient, but not uncommon.

Apparently the cube problem differs in some variations of the test. The versions I’ve seen lately since this has been in the news have a stick-outline figure that looks like a chair rather than a cube.

Sounds difficult.

ETA: (Missed edit window)
See for example this:

You sure it doesn’t look like a bed? Like right under where it says “Copy bed”?

I couldn’t find the chair example again, but it was very similar to the bed example that I did find. Other samples I found on-line had a simple line drawing of a cylinder to copy (and I can’t find that again today either). Notice that the selection of critters to name also differs from one version to another. (Is that a duck or a goose?)

A google image search for MoCA also turns up many examples of how people with various cognitive ailments will mis-draw the cube (or whatever) and the clock.

What would the Cognitive Assessment look like if it was “from” a different place than Montreal?

Is there a Jersey Shore cognitive assessment with a practical component where you have to eat as many hot dogs as you can in two minutes?

For the final question in the Jersey Cognitive Assessment, you are required to “pull my finger”.

Just stop, dude.

madmonk28: Just stop dude.

I stopped six days ago.
