Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe the psychometric properties of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Czech version Standard form (MoCA-SF) and two Alternate Forms (MoCA-AF). There is limited information regarding the test-retest effect and the reliability of the MoCA. Methods: Seventy cognitively healthy subjects (mean age 50.33 ± 26.47) were assessed in one session with MoCA-SF and MoCA-AF (7.2 and 7.3) in a counterbalanced fashion. Results: There was no significant difference between the two MoCA forms (Standard vs. 7.3), MoCA-AF 7.2 being slightly more difficult than the latter. Furthermore, in depth, the exploratory analysis revealed differences between the subtests of the MoCA. However, based on the total score all versions showed sound convergent and discriminative validity. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the two MoCA-SF and MoCA-AF 7.3 forms are equivalent and useful for repeated administration to minimize the test-retest effect.
