All these disorders (amnesia, disturbance of executive functions, aphasia, Agnosia, apraxia) may be assessed by a psychometric testing: the MMSE (Mini Mental State Evaluation, or test Folstein), established on a scale of 30 points: a score below 24 out of 30 is suspected dementia.
This result should be interpreted according to the socioeconomic level of the patient (a high level can improve the score and therefore distort the test), and it will ensure that no confusion before its completion.
A neuropsychological evaluation can be conducted, which includes evaluation of psychometric tests, including:
* Also a MMSE (Mini Mental State Assessment Test or Folstein)
* A test called the clock (explore praxis)
* A test reminder (explores memory).
and other explorations.
