Abstract
The present study aims to adapt and to standardize the MDRS in the Moroccan population. The Moroccan Dementia Rating Scale was adapted in Arabic and was administered to 192 younger and older individuals without cognitive deficits (96 men and 96 women) whose ages ranged from 18 to 85 years old. To investigate the impact of age and schooling, participants were classified into three levels of education, and three age categories. The results show that age and level of education strongly influenced the performance of an average of 124/144 of the MDRS subjects who were tested.

Summary
The Dementia Rating Scale “RS” was developed by Coblentz et al in 1973 and was taken over in 1976. The name was changed to Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS) in 1988. The “MDRS” is correlated with conventional intelligence tests, with conventional intelligence tests. It is considered by many researchers to be a tool for research and clinical practice at the same time. Easy to apply and brief to administer, the process lasts between 30 to 40 minutes for patients with dementia. It includes 36 tasks which are grouped into five subscales. Each task aims to assess different cognitive functions which are: attention, initiation, perseveration, construction, conceptualization, and Memory
