Description
Clinics need a fast, reliable way to screen thinking and memory in older adults. Libon and ten co-authors describe a tablet-based protocol that takes about ten minutes. It is scored automatically with artificial intelligence. Patients repeat and recall a short word list, repeat digits backward, and name animals for a set time. The test gives both standard scores and a record of errors and the steps taken along the way.
Given to 77 clinic patients, the scores sorted people into four groups. The groups were normal, memory-led mild impairment, control-led mild impairment, and dementia. The error details then separated the groups further. The memory-led patients forgot words fast and accepted false words, while the control-led patients stumbled on digit errors. Two summary scores, one for mental control and one for memory, set all four groups apart from each other.
