Abstract
Verbal Learning Test (HVLT), and BVMT. The third factor (attention/ fluency) consisted of the MoCA attention and language domain scores as well as the WAIS-IV Digit Span scores, and phonemic fluency (FAS). The final factor (language) consisted of the MoCA naming and abstraction domains, as well as category fluency (animals), Boston Naming Test, and WASI-IV Similarities. Conclusions: The individual MoCA domain scores demonstrated high factor loadings with standard neuropsychological measures purported to measure similar cognitive constructs, providing empirical support for the construct validity of the MoCA. Results from this study demonstrate that the domain scores from the MoCA reflect similar constructs as to those gleaned from a more comprehensive battery, lending further support for the use of the MoCA as a brief screen of cognition.
