TOTALThe scores from each of the six items are multiplied to yield a weighted score. Score 1 foreach incorrect response. Weighted error scores greater than 10 are consistent withdementia.

Scoring items 4 and 5: For uncorrected errors, score \"2\"; for self-corrected errors, score\"1\". For no errors, score \"O\"

Scoring the memory phrase: If no cue is necessary and the patient recalls both name andaddress, score \"O\". If patient cannot spontaneously recall the name and address, cue with\"John Brown\" one time only. If this cue is necessary, the patient automatically has 2errors.
