ORIENTATION
1. Ask for the date. Then ask specifically for parts omitted.
i.e., œCan you also tell me what season it is? One point for each
correct.
2. Ask in turn, œCan you tell me the name of this place?, town, county, etc.
One point for each correct.

REGISTRATION
Tell the person you are going to test their memory. Then say the names of three unrelated objects, clearly and slowly, about one second for each. After you have said all three, ask him to repeat them. This first repetition determines his score (0-3) but keep saying them until he can repeat all three, up to six trials. If the subject does not eventually learn all three, recall cannot be meaningfully tested.

ATTENTION AND CALCULATION
Ask the subject to begin with 100 and count backwards by 7. Stop after five subtractions. Score the total number of correct answers.

If the subject cannot or will not perform this task, ask him to spell the word œworld backwards. The score is the number of letters in correct order.
i.e., dlrow = 5 points, dlorw = 3 points.

RECALL
Ask the patient if he can recall the three words you previously asked him to remember. One point for each correctly recalled.

LANGUAGE
Naming: Show the subject a wristwatch and ask her what it is.
Repeat with a pencil. One point for each named correctly.
Repetition: Ask the patient to repeat the sentence after you. Allow only one trial.
3 Stage Command: give the verbal instructions, then present the subject a sheet of paper. One point for each part of the command that is correctly executed.
Reading: Have the subject read the phrase œCLOSE YOUR EYES. The letters should be large and dark enough for the subject to read. Ask him to œRead the sentence and do what it says. Score correctly only if they read and the phrase and close their eyes.
Writing: Give the subject a blank piece of paper and ask her write a sentence for you. Do not dictate a sentence, it is to be written by the subject spontaneously. To score correctly, it must contain a subject and verb and be sensible. It should be a complete thought. Correct grammar and punctuation are NOT necessary.
Copying: On a piece of paper, draw intersecting pentagons, each side about one inch and ask him to copy it exactly as it is. To score correctly, all ten angles must be present AND two must intersect. Tremor and rotation are ignored.

Estimate the subject™s level of sensorium along a continuum, from alert to coma.

TOTAL SCORE POSSIBLE = 30
25-30: NORMAL AGING OR BORDERLINE DEMENTIA
23 OR LESS: HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF DEMENTIA
