Reliability and validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment's auditory items (MoCA-22).

ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the latent structure, internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity, diagnostic accuracy, and criterion validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment's auditory items (MoCA-22), which has previously been evaluated in small samples if at all. Methods: 11,284 participants completed the MoCA over 1-2 visits to an Alzheimer Disease Research Center (M_age = 69.2, M_education = 15.9, 57.6% women, 92.4% non-Hispanic white). MoCA-22 items were probed with alpha, omega, confirmatory factor analysis, and test-retest correlations. Scores were related to measures of neurocognition, daily functioning, behavioral-psychological symptoms (BPS), and vision performance for convergent-discriminant and criterion validity.
