How long does it typically take to administer the MoCA?

The MoCA, or Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is designed to be a brief screening tool that typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. This timeframe allows for a thorough assessment of various cognitive domains, including memory, attention, language, and executive function, among others. The time frame is optimal for healthcare providers to integrate into their clinical consultations without overly prolonging the visit, making it a practical choice for rapidly assessing cognitive function.
