What Is the MoCA? The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief 30-question test that takes around 10 minutes to complete. It was published in 2005 by a group at McGill University working for several years at memory clinics in Montreal.
At the White House press conference, Jackson said he decided to run what's called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, known as MoCA. It is a well-known and well-tested assessment that doctors can quickly use to detect mild cognitive dysfunction, according to the test instructions. It does rule out the need to do any other cognitive assessment, Jackson said. The 30-point test takes about 10 minutes and asks the patient to perform a simple batch of memory and mental tasks. The tasks include drawing a line between a number and a letter in ascending order.
