Functional cognitive performance augments cognitive screening data in older adults by Timothy S. Marks, Gordon Muir Giles, Dorothy Farrar Edwards

“…Follow-up univariate ANCOVAs showed that PCST Total Cues adjusted mean score [F(2, 255) = 20.006, p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.136] and WCPA-17 Accuracy adjusted mean scores [F(2, 255) = 23.216, p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.154] were significantly different among MoCA groups, with medium-large effect sizes.ConclusionThe tripartite group categorization of the MoCA largely parallels ability on two independent performance-based IADL assessments, a subset of individuals borderline or unimpaired on the MoCA had difficulties with complex IADL identified by performance-based IADL assessments indicating comprehensive evaluations of older adults would benefit from including both types of assessments.…”
