Description

Shreya Harikrishnan and a large team of co-authors published this study in two thousand twenty-five on a test made for people with severe dementia. Common screens like the MoCA bottom out in this group: too many people score at the floor, so real differences are lost.

The team checked the English form of the Severe Cognitive Impairment Rating Scale against the MoCA in one hundred forty-one people with dementia. Scores on the two tests tracked each other well, which backs the new scale as a true measure. The floor problem was much smaller on the new scale than on the MoCA. Many people who scored at the MoCA floor still spread out across the new scale. The authors say the scale can track thinking in severe dementia where older screens go blind.
