If you were diagnosed. I hope that you find peace in your life. and because there is no cure... the best thing i can recommend is to try to enjoy your life and cherish the days you have where you still have pure recall. wish you the best of luck.
My husband was diagnosed with alzheimers in 2019. He is 62 years old. This video was very helpful and I hope to see more of this series. Thanks a lot for this video.
I really want to comment on this. First, I hope everything turned the best for the patient. Even struggling, such a bright mind and a positive attitude a d a nice sense of humoir even in what was surely a really scary situation. The ruler and watch answer was brilliant so far into the test. The test itself must be exhausting, I was exhausted just from watching. But also, I would like to praise the doctor: always reassuring, even when the patient wasnt performing as good as ideal, he never dropped a very empathic posture, generating a sort of complicity between them both that made everything so light, as serious as it was.

To @JoaoSilva-on4od ~ I wholeheartedly agree! Sam actually performed quite well, especially since he was being filmed while working through his test. He was courageous to consent to that; many people refuse to share their test results with anyone, let alone have them posted publicly! I also agree that Dr Barklay was quite effective in putting Sam at ease while maintaining a professional relationship. We need more doctors with the temperament & training to work so well with our geriatric population in the US. Many of us 'Boomers' now need (or will need) these specialized services. Both of my parents had dementia prior to passing. Being tested and receiving a diagnosis can be so difficult for patients & their families. The emotional response of Sam's wife is totally understandable: her sadness for him and additional responsibility as caregiver can be crushing. But Dr Barclays assurance of support through his office, a Social Worker, & the Alzheimer's Association can make all the difference.
Most people wouldn't get 100% ...unless you practice Lots of reading daily especially when it came to remembering those four words I didn't remember them all I missed one you try to figure out tricks to remember certain words like red ,velvet
Keep in mind that this test is only a guide to detect cognitive impairment. Failing portions of it doesn't necessarily mean a person has dementia. I'm given one every year with my Medicare Wellness visit and, although I always pass, sometimes I'm tired, can't concentrate and forget a word or two. There are many reasons people forget things. Sometimes it's the medication they're taking or they haven't slept well because they've been under a lot of stress. Mild forgetfulness is a normal part of aging. Memory problems only become serious when it becomes difficult to do everyday tasks.
This doctor told him that he has an early Alzheimer. There is a video for that. I seriously think most people or all people would have Alzheimer with this exam from this doctor.
I have Parkinson's, and I was in a lot of clinical trials and they all did the cognitive test for baseline. So when the person administering the test would say "I'm going to say five words, see if you can commit them to memory" I used to answer "OK, just as long as you don't say "face, velvet, church, daisy, red". For some reason I'm never able to remember that particular sequence."
Same with me. The DAY matters to me, but the date? No, unless I have an appt., or it's a significant date - If someone asked me randomly the date? I'd be within a few days - but that's it. I'm 55 and work full time.
My dad could tell you details of his life from when he was young, during the war, etc. I know they were correct because his sisters would agree.BUT he didn’t recognize my mom. He would say to her “ thank you for taking care of me, I don’t know why it’s taking my wife so long to get home”. My mother would cry & cry.
I know what you mean. All of our parents, between my husband and his siblings, and mine and my siblings. It's hard when our parent does not remember the one they've loved for many years.
To @Pennyk1943: That's quite disconcerting, I agree. But once we understand how common it is in dementia, it's a bit easier to accept. For whatever reason, long-term memory is often much better than short-term.
I remember I did one of these tests shortly after I had a bad concussion, with some bleeding on the brain. I thought I was smoking it; it was so easy. But then counting backward from 100 by 7 wrecked me. It was so difficult, and I was panicked. Had to count it out on my fingers. It's really a scary feeling, struggling when you know you shouldn't be.
I think this guy did exceptionally well. Counting backward in 7s from 100 isn't easy if you don't have fingers. 😊 I think with the taping A's, I believe it was a hearing problem for a couple of them. As for rembering words, that is probably age related. I hope this gentleman lives a long, healthy life. 😊 Well done!
Drop by 10 add 3. So it's 90 +3= 93 dropping to 83 +3=86, drop 10 is 76 +3 =79, 72-10=62+3=65 and so on. Really easy when you get the hang of it. So going back by 7 from 100 is 93,86,79,72,65, 58, usually that's enough for the test.
It is interesting how the test is applied without making the subject feel uncomfortable, however it seems to be a very difficult test, especially in the memory part. The dynamics seem very funny to me.
The man being tested had a very good sense of humour. My Mom passed away from dementia at 93, not a pleasant thing to go through for her or the family. I find i do these tests just to see if i have any signs. The funny thing is that when they give you the 5 word test, i have done so many that i remember the odd word from the test i did 6 months ago. Must be something with the long term and short term memory. My mom's long term memory of things she did as a child remained into her last year but her short term memory had left 3 years before. People who deal with this in their lives every day have to have patience and empathy. My mother in law now has alzheimers so my experience with my mom has taught me that. Such an unpleasant disease.
Yeah it’s so sad. Im sorry, my grandpa has it. He’s in the late stages and it’s so bad he can’t do anything for himself. So seeing this test, I can’t comprehend how he managed to do it 5 or so years because he literally couldn’t do a single thing on it now. It’s so sad
If you notice he's overly stressed. His brain is having difficulty just staying concentrated and it takes mental energy which is exhausting. When you're dealing with things All day you need or try to remember it's like your brain folds and gives up repeatedly. I learned to not try to recall what I forgot because no matter what it wasn't coming back. I was diagnosed last Nov with Alteimers Dementia early stage I've taken this test.
He's a curious case actually. In some cases he has no accent and in others he does. But honestly I think what you saw as an accent was a speech impediment probably due to age. ( Can't hit ths s's well)
As a bilingual myself (Greek is my first language) I think that language does indeed matter in some parts of these kind of tests. For example, there are moments I need to translate the digits of my phone number in my head while saying them in English. Though, when it comes to communication of feelings, opinions or beliefs etc I don't need to go through this process. It's so weird and funny.
This was a perfect test result. Lots of people are saying that. The final questions were really hard. Nobody else in the whole world could've done as well on those questions. Lots of people are saying this was a perfect test. He was able to identify an elephant. It was perfect.
By the time I have to start taking this test, I'll be so familiar with it that I'll be able to answer readily because I'll have practiced. On the other hand, I had a friend who had early-onset dementia and when she was in her late 50s she was incapable of - for example - drawing the clock. She could only draw a circle; no numbers or clock hands.
Don't count on breezing through the test when your time comes! There are a number of different versions, but all designed to evaluate abilities in various areas. I've accompanied 5 or 6 patients for testing, and haven't seen the same test twice!
No problem for me.. Might take a few seconds to answer each number but I could do it... Depends on the number they ask.. Like if they put 1560 count back with - 22 a pop can you do it? I could do a few times but it would be pretty difficult..Counting back from 100 by any # is easy ...Depends how your brain is built if you're very logical you could do it I tend to excel in math and science but when it comes to reading and remembering words sometimes it's a pain in neck.. But he should've remembered one of the f
A little trick... mentally calculate 1x7 (7) and subtract it from 100. Then calculate 2x7 (14), then subtract that from 100, and so on. It's easier to do simple multiplications (which most ion us memorized back in elementary school) and subtract it from 100.
My wife could not do 90% of this test. I have no guidance of what to do next all the doctors we have say call here call there but no guidance, this is not easy as most commercials say and most likely we will be skipped to deal with this my self which I am confused how, what? Just extremely stressful for me not knowing.
This doctor so kind and good at his job Do people who ADHD have higher risk of dementia later in life already with bad ADHD I could not remember the words on the test when he ask a second time when you ask me to go and grab things from time to time like stuff from a fridge for example sometimes I can't remember what I was told 3 min ago i lose things like my wallet all time
I have Lewy Body Dementia and have taken this test more times than I care to count. The sad part is that I know that I am getting a little worse every time I take it.
my mom is 84 and we are pretty sure she has some kind of dementia or Alzheimer's.we have tried to get her a cognitive test done but she always picks up on what's going on and refuses it.. or gets mad and walks out. she did that with her last primary care doctor got mad and walked out. now we insist on going to appointments' with her. she has not yet seen her new primary doctor yet. I guess what i am asking is what do you do when someone refuses to be evaluated?
He didn't remember any of the 4 words ..I wasn't even paying attention in the beginning and I got ... red velvet because I associate 2 words together... And remembering one of the words would've been enough to pass it
I'm younger than him and had to think a minute, lol. He reminds me of my great uncle, rest his soul. We used to write down a word, and see how many other words, we can make from the one. We would time 3 min. Good way to past the time.👍
your Not alone... so you're -3 points on the test... you're seeing it differently the test ,,,you're not actually there with the guy telling you .u might not remember anything... At the end of the test it says add 1 point If the person has a higher than a 12th grade education..Right away that's bullshit
He did well. Only thing he flunked was the counting backwards by 7 from 100 and remembering the 5 words from the beginning. That's pretty good as far as I can tell. Why don't they tell us his result? Oh and he got the time on the clock wrong.
He had difficulties seeing how a bicycle and train are alike though, and finally thought of wheels but fixated on how the wheels operate ..saying they both have elbows, etc. so I think he forgot what the original question was because he'd become so fixated on that one similarity - the wheels.
There's another video discussing how this test is scored and they reference this video of Sam taking the test. He scored 21 / 30. He missed one point on the clock so 2/3, got 2/3 on counting backwards by 7 so pretty good, missed 2+ on the hand tapping test so 0/1, didn't really understand the similarities between a bicycle and a train so 1/2 and couldn't remember any of those 5 words at the end so 0/5 ruclips.net/video/wO7n19KMveU/видео.html.
My grandpa has Alzheimers and he’s in the late stages already, he’s bed ridden and can’t do anything from himself anymore. I remember when he’d do this test and now he can’t do answer or comphrend anything shown in this test. It’s just so sad, the disease just takes everything away from you. And now, it’s just hard for me to imagine a time 5 or so years he was able to even attempt this test because it’s so bad now
I take this similar test once a year and he puts the numbers on the clock the same way I do LOL. I hate the counting backwards by 7's its harder than you'd think
I had to remember words for a test I had for ADHD. I couldn’t remember any of em except the first and maybe one or two more. Needless to say I do indeed have ADHD
Yeah I was gonna say these tests are very hard for someone with ADHD like myself. Our short term memory isn’t good - especially with lists. And also people with math disabilities wouldn’t be so good with the numbers and geometry. I have a math disability and ADHD, also APD.
I am going to ask this question respectfully. I notice this gentleman, in this video, is also in another video. The other video is for the Mini-cog assessment, with the same doctor. Is this patient an actor, DEMONSTRATING assessments?
Damn it's depressing when you watch these videos where they examine perfectly healthy guys that maybe go "ups i got that one wrong hihihi" from time to time and then you stumble across an exam with a man that has some actual problems.
No way can I count backwards by 7's even today -- Math is not my forte. I'd flunk out of the gate. And memorizing a word list and repeating it back 5 minutes later after all that -- is hard, too. add nerves to it. no way
I like the way the Doctor administered the MOCA, but I'm interested to know why the category or multiple choice cues were not used in the delayed recall sub-test, as this is part of the assessment form? Also interested to know if he is a genuine patient & what he was scored as by the Doctor, plus what recommendations were made afterwards. From watching this video it appears that he may have poor STM recall, possible difficulty with orientation to time & attention deficits.
This looks like a slightly different version to the version 7.1 used in the UK - we now use the 8.1 version, which gives a sub-score that shows how someone remembers information - this may help if he can use visual or verbal prompts, as this may help decide how best to support the person in the community.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment @ 2.47 had me worried ( I'm 70+yrs old) because throughout my life I have never been able to draw a straight line with a ruler and pencil ! My 1st Class Honours degree as a young woman saw my career take off and my short/long term memory is good but if I was asked to draw a box 😷😷 yup ...nup . It must be everyone's nightmare to be diagnosed with Dementia , Alzheimer's or Brain injury's .
Glad to hear somebody else couldnt draw a box.I couldn’t two years in a row. So I went to google and of course it’s as easy as. Unfortunately I haven’t been asked to draw a box since! I’m 88 and I certainly couldn’t count back reducing by 7.J
I am 50 and could only think of 15 words that started with F. I recalled four of the words correctly but thought one of them was fairy not fable. The counting backward from 100 minus seven was easy. I thought the Dr would ask what three animals I saw. Lion, Rhino, Camel. Clock and box were easy. So, I feel pretty good.
DONE SUBSCRIBING MY daughter has autism too. It is really hard and challenging raising a child with autism. But God choose us to be their parents to love accept and protect them always...
I don't have dementia but I've been hit by a car, knocked out by a baseball, and have landed on my head twice and the only word I couldn't remember was velvet. I feel pretty dam good lol

Someone can Not Be Diagnosed With ALZHEIMERS , Without an autopsy ??
You should take this test too....se e if you will pass
how has everything been?
I really want to comment on this. First, I hope everything turned the best for the patient. Even struggling, such a bright mind and a positive attitude a d a nice sense of humoir even in what was surely a really scary situation. The ruler and watch answer was brilliant so far into the test. The test itself must be exhausting, I was exhausted just from watching. But also, I would like to praise the doctor: always reassuring, even when the patient wasnt performing as good as ideal, he never dropped a very empathic posture, generating a sort of complicity between them both that made everything so light, as serious as it was. This was an amazing content. The human aspect of it was very touching and I cant emphasyze enough how important it is to have empathic caring professionals in these situations.
I do this similar test annually too. You kinds feel under pressure when and then you can't think.
To @JoaoSilva-on4od ~
I wholeheartedly agree! Sam actually performed quite well, especially since he was being filmed while working through his test. He was courageous to consent to that; many people refuse to share their test results with anyone, let alone have them posted publicly!
I also agree that Dr Barklay was quite effective in putting Sam at ease while maintaining a professional relationship. We need more doctors with the temperament & training to work so well with our geriatric population in the US. Many of us 'Boomers' now need (or will need) these specialized services.
Both of my parents had dementia prior to passing. Being tested and receiving a diagnosis can be so difficult for patients & their families. The emotional response of Sam's wife is totally understandable: her sadness for him and additional responsibility as caregiver can be crushing.

I’m proud of you for trying and not giving up. I know it has to be really hard but obviously you haven’t given up so I wish you the best of luck ever!
@@maryelizabethcofer3141 Thank you!!!
Do you give the same test ?
Thank you so much, this was very helpful!
i loved him, he was great, funny and smart!! Doc: your done! patient : yea..i bet i am!! lol
My 8th grade math students need this examination...
my mom is 84 and we are pretty sure she has some kind of dementia or Alzheimer's.we have tried to get her a cognitive test done but she always picks up on what's going on and refuses it.. or gets mad and walks out. she did that with her last primary care doctor got mad and walked out. now we insist on going to appointments' with her. she has not yet seen her new primary doctor yet. I guess what i am asking is what do you do when someone refuses to be evaluated?
Unfortunately there is not much you can do.
Validity and reliability of moca???
Camelrino’
Gotta make em Italian!
mi scusi - _cammello_ is the Italian for *camel*
This guy deff knows some Cuban gangsters
He would know MAFIA gangsters - so _you_ just *failed*
Except for the number counting backwards and a couple of hand taps that he didn't do, I think he is doing pretty well.
He didn't remember any of the 4 words ..I wasn't even paying attention in the beginning and I got ... red velvet because I associate 2 words together... And remembering one of the words would've been enough to pass it
Do you know where the 3-word neurological test started? can't find the basis for it.
Jesus I couldn't even remember the words he said at first! That's asking a lot of a normal person
Very nice doctor great job
I failed. I said fart, farts, farted, fartface, and Eric Swallwell.
😭😭😭 never thought I would see that kind of comment on this yt vid
What age is the male subject?
When he counted backwords from 100 i thought i had a problem and i got scared
Great Doctor great testers & Good man keeping up the fight in there! :)
Thank you for cheering!
BR AN.
well hell!! im 30 and i cant count backwards from 100 in 7s I'm screwed
Doc, you must love that tie. It is actually a very nice tie Doctor. ;)
Nice presentation. Thanks.
Thanks for this post! Very interesting 👌
When he drew the clock looks to me like he drew 9:55 am not 11:10, or did I miss something?...No one else caught this?..(Maybe im getting dementia)
I'm younger than him and had to think a minute, lol. He reminds me of my great uncle, rest his soul. We used to write down a word, and see how many other words, we can make from the one. We would time 3 min. Good way to past the time.👍
Velvet, Red is all I remembered... and that’s only because I was drawn to the idea of red velvet cake.
I had face velvet church rose? I thought he said rose. 🤔 😭
your Not alone... so you're -3 points on the test... you're seeing it differently the test ,,,you're not actually there with the guy telling you
.u might not remember anything... At the end of the test it says add 1 point If the person has a higher than a 12th grade education..Right away that's bullshit
I remembered daisy at tge end. I'm done 4
How old are you
He did well. Only thing he flunked was the counting backwards by 7 from 100 and remembering the 5 words from the beginning. That's pretty good as far as I can tell. Why don't they tell us his result? Oh and he got the time on the clock wrong.
He had difficulties seeing how a bicycle and train are alike though, and finally thought of wheels but fixated on how the wheels operate ..saying they both have elbows, etc. so I think he forgot what the original question was because he'd become so fixated on that one similarity - the wheels.
There's another video discussing how this test is scored and they reference this video of Sam taking the test. He scored 21 / 30.
He missed one point on the clock so 2/3, got 2/3 on counting backwards by 7 so pretty good, missed 2+ on the hand tapping test so 0/1, didn't really understand the similarities between a bicycle and a train so 1/2 and couldn't remember any of those 5 words at the end so 0/5

He seems fun
My grandpa has Alzheimers and he’s in the late stages already, he’s bed ridden and can’t do anything from himself anymore. I remember when he’d do this test and now he can’t do answer or comphrend anything shown in this test. It’s just so sad, the disease just takes everything away from you. And now, it’s just hard for me to imagine a time 5 or so years he was able to even attempt this test because it’s so bad now
l'examen médical doit-on le faire toute les années? et est-il complet...merci
He did pretty good. Not particularly indicative of memory issues outside of the norm for a man his age
This is scripted.not real
"He did pretty *well* (not the word; *GOOD* )
@@Lightt47 this is not scripted.. I've taken this test.
@@Lightt47 its real
@@Lightt47 True - but done well .
I take this similar test once a year and he puts the numbers on the clock the same way I do LOL. I hate the counting backwards by 7's its harder than you'd think
I had to remember words for a test I had for ADHD. I couldn’t remember any of em except the first and maybe one or two more. Needless to say I do indeed have ADHD
Yeah I was gonna say these tests are very hard for someone with ADHD like myself. Our short term memory isn’t good - especially with lists. And also people with math disabilities wouldn’t be so good with the numbers and geometry. I have a math disability and ADHD, also APD.
I am going to ask this question respectfully. I notice this gentleman, in this video, is also in another video. The other video is for the Mini-cog assessment, with the same doctor. Is this patient an actor, DEMONSTRATING assessments?
These tests are hard even if you don't have dementia. I can't even add 2+2 so would flunk the numbers tests.
I've done serial sevens so many times I have it memorized. My doctor started doing serial 13s.
Damn it's depressing when you watch these videos where they examine perfectly healthy guys that maybe go "ups i got that one wrong hihihi" from time to time and then you stumble across an exam with a man that has some actual problems.
I think this man is doing good for his age! We all need to forget with how this world is going.
Sam seems like a really good guy. Hope he is still with us.😊
No way can I count backwards by 7's even today -- Math is not my forte. I'd flunk out of the gate. And memorizing a word list and repeating it back 5 minutes later after all that -- is hard, too. add nerves to it. no way
i was doing epik as fuck then fucked up after 84 lol was off by 2
Love this guy, hes everyone Grandpa.
I like the way the Doctor administered the MOCA, but I'm interested to know why the category or multiple choice cues were not used in the delayed recall sub-test, as this is part of the assessment form? Also interested to know if he is a genuine patient & what he was scored as by the Doctor, plus what recommendations were made afterwards. From watching this video it appears that he may have poor STM recall, possible difficulty with orientation to time & attention deficits.
Giving choices in the delayed recall is optional, it does not affect the score of the test.
There's a second video where he tells him that he has Alzheimer's. No meds, etc were mentioned.
This looks like a slightly different version to the version 7.1 used in the UK - we now use the 8.1 version, which gives a sub-score that shows how someone remembers information - this may help if he can use visual or verbal prompts, as this may help decide how best to support the person in the community.
My goodness, I can barely count backwards by twos!! When he said, "Forget it!" I really felt that lol
I’m 40. One was ordered. Kinda worried
Montreal Cognitive Assessment @ 2.47 had me worried ( I'm 70+yrs old) because throughout my life I have never been able to draw a straight line with a ruler and pencil ! My 1st Class Honours degree as a young woman saw my career take off and my short/long term memory is good but if I was asked to draw a box 😷😷 yup ...nup . It must be everyone's nightmare to be diagnosed with Dementia , Alzheimer's or Brain injury's .
Glad to hear somebody else couldnt draw a box.I couldn’t two years in a row. So I went to google
and of course it’s as easy as. Unfortunately I haven’t been asked to draw a box since! I’m 88 and
I certainly couldn’t count back reducing by 7.J
listen and ease your mind w classical music sleep more.
Is Sam a standardized patient? Or is he really having dementia?
He feels genuine.
I saw in another video that he has Alzheimer’s
he's proablly an actor
He is a patient that suspect he have dementia
I am 42 and I just forgot why I went into the kitchen, so I came back and wrote a comment instead :) (but I did remember all the words at the end)
Sure you will made me laugh so hard. He sure has got a comedian side LOL.
Very helpful❤️🇨🇦
The doctor told him to draw a line from A-1 and A-2 and Sam caught on to the doctors mistake. This is a good sign.
Find that as one tires during the testing process, the answers become harder to get correctly.
Boston? Never heard of it.
Ugh yikes i just had this same freaking test a week or so at my primary dr iam 45yo cant remember lately 😓i have to get more testing scary sometimes .
I am 50 and could only think of 15 words that started with F. I recalled four of the words correctly but thought one of them was fairy not fable. The counting backward from 100 minus seven was easy. I thought the Dr would ask what three animals I saw. Lion, Rhino, Camel. Clock and box were easy. So, I feel pretty good.
a score of >11 words is given full points, so good job!
DONE SUBSCRIBING
MY daughter has autism too. It is really hard and challenging raising a child with autism. But God choose us to be their parents to love accept and protect them always...
Lovely man
I don't have dementia but I've been hit by a car, knocked out by a baseball, and have landed on my head twice and the only word I couldn't remember was velvet. I feel pretty dam good lol
Red and Velvet for me.
Hey Clakum! You live a dangerous life!
@@aileen694 lol thank you, I think?
The point isn't how you do on one test, it's how you do on all of them. You could do great on some and totally flunk others
That is hard even for someone with no Alzheimers! Subtract 7 starting at 100.. Not easy!
