Description
Alicia Boluarte Carbajal and four co-authors test the Memory Alteration Test in a 2025 paper, using two models of test quality. Dementia is a top cause of disability in older adults and a vast load on public health, and early spotting of decline is key to timely care.
The test is a short screen with high sensitivity for early dementia and mild cognitive impairment. The team asked how sound its scores are. Factor analysis checked its inner form. A Rasch model then checked how each item works and how well the test sorts people by true memory level.
