Dealing with parents in their 80's. Step mom has dementia and is really losing it quickly despite many types of medications and doing activities like putting a simple puzzle together... now my father n law is losing his memory. It's so sad. We are having this test done for him today. We've watched lots of videos from this dr and he's really good at what he does. We appreciate his videos. Very educational as we know now what types of tests are available, what is asked etc. Thank you doctor.

I’m 45 and I could not remember not one word from that list - when he went back to ask a few minutes later. 😮 she did pretty good

[@paulinevanderhoff1764]

This doctor is great.

[@whatshisname3304]

I think he was designed by Weyland, he's the doctor model, a predecessor to David. very convincing as a human, with perfect synthetic responses. Tyrell would be jealous.

He has one necktie only

She did pretty well!

You didn’t repeat the words twice/have her say them twice. ?

You’d have to relate Chicago to Illinois. Tricky brain question.

She did better than me and I'm 45

[@missybradburn5776]

I'm 47 and I agree. I didn't remember much about Jack and Jill for sure.

[@stratiastratiev]

Same here and i am your age too. There's another video on youtube that shows after the test this lady was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease which scares me.

[@unstrung65]

Is this real or acted since you have credits at the end . Either way it is done very well .

[@debesteves.]

It is real, this doctor has loads of videos about it. He said patients give him consent to record. This way it can help other professionals conducting theses interviews the best possible way.

[@whateversmurfette]

And the test is B's because I'm only 41 and I remembered zero fruits ...And I am dyslexic so what's your angle sir?

[@JewishBettor]

No youre just restarted

[@beckyjohnson468]

Don't you worry about clients learning the test by watching these videos?

[@northnomad]

If they can remember the answers that is a pretty good indication that their memory isn't too bad. :-) That said there is some "learning effect" with these cognitive tests as they are frequently repeated over time to gauge stability/progression of disease. We try not to give them too close together to try an minimize this but it is still a shortcoming. The MOCA is a bit better in they at least have 3 versions of the test though all the validation studies were only done with the initial version.

[@personofinterestchocolatem9158]

I've been through this test a few years ago in chicago and I can promise you that these poor people cannot remember what they just heard, let alone something on a video.

[@jessesmithson7941]

Lmao. You're suggesting they cheat?

[@SomethingWet]

The questions change (different numbers and words etc) but yeah if they remember it from the video and have the memory to cheat they're probably going to pass either way

[@Moccsnosocks]

It's true but luckily most people HTG want to know whether they have impairment and aren't typically motivated to malinger on this testing.

[@michaelesralian1268]

So "What was her score"??

[@krystalmeister]

Perfect score

[@LATriathlete68]

18 which is dementia independent of education.

my issue w the clock game.. who really says 10 minutes till 11 o'clock... say it like anyone would. it's 10:50

[@sirgreedy88]

Many people speak that way.

[@nothing_yeah675]

They ask it that way to check a person's abstract thinking. Saying it as 10:50, as many people may, is much easier to know what time it is than "10 minutes till 11'oclock."

[@philanderer6113]

Got that backwards kid, most people aren't saying four forty-five, they're gonna say quarter to five.

[@davemitchell116]

there is a Chicago in Nevada, one in California and one in Illinois. It's a trick question. Also, this more of a test of math, drawing and vocabulary skills that memory.

[@sirgreedy88]

It's not only about memory its about cognition.

Cmon bro everyone knows chicago is in illinois.
