The quality of the process of cultural adaptation of MoCA differs considerably among different available versions as well as the number of items adapted in the various language versions. Culturally different adapted versions of the MoCA were unevenly distributed across different geographic areas. Overall, 86 culturally different versions of MoCA are available: 74 versions on the MoCA website (25 of them have a corresponding paper concerning the translation process found with the systematic review) and 12 additional versions identified only with the search in biomedical databases. Adapted versions were identified through a systematic review in 3 databases and on the MoCA website.

Neuropsychological Assessment of Neuropsychiatric and Neuromedical Disorders. Italian practitioners should consider an adaptive use of region-specific norms for the MoCA.Īdaptive testing Cognitive impairment Cultural differences Item Response Theory Montreal Cognitive Assessment Normative data. Background: This study aimed at: (1) assessing, in an Italian cohort of non-demented Parkinsons disease (PD) patients, the construct validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) against both first- and second-level cognitive measures (2) delivering an exhaustive and updated evaluation of its diagnostic properties. Item-level information herewith provided for the Italian MoCA can help interpret its scores by Italian practitioners. Memory items showed high discriminative capability, along with certain items assessing executive functions and orientation. Several items proved to be scarcely sensitive, especially the place item from Orientation and the letter detection task. Substantial disagreements with previous ESs classifications were detected. No sex differences were detected when tested along with age and education. Agreement with previous ESs classification was assessed via Cohen's k.Īge and education significantly predicted all MoCA measures except for Orientation, which was related to age only. Normative values were derived by means of the Equivalent Scores (ESs) method, applied to the MoCA and its sub-scales. Item Response Theory (IRT) was adopted to assess item difficulty and discrimination. This study thus aimed at providing: (i) updated, region-specific norms for the Italian MoCA, by also (ii) comparing them to pre-existing ones with higher geographical coverage (iii) information on sensitivity and discriminative capability at the item level.įive hundred and seventy nine healthy individuals from Northern Italy (208 males, 371 females age: 63.4 ± 15, 21-96 education: 11.3 ± 4.6, 1-25) were administered the MoCA. ![]() The availability of fine-grained, culture-specific psychometric outcomes can favor the interpretation of scores of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the most frequently used instrument to screen for mild cognitive dysfunctions in both instrumental and non-instrumental domains. ![]()
