How many words are presented to the patient during the MMSE registration task?
Answer: Three
The MMSE registration task presents three unrelated words for the patient to repeat back immediately.
What is the maximum score a patient can earn on the MMSE registration task?
Answer: 3
Each of the three words repeated correctly earns one point, yielding a maximum registration score of 3.
How many times may the examiner repeat the three words if the patient fails to recall all of them on the first try?
Answer: Up to five times
The examiner may repeat the words up to five times to ensure learning, but scoring is based only on the first trial.
Immediately after presenting the registration words, what task does the examiner move to?
Answer: Attention and calculation
After registration, the examiner proceeds to the attention and calculation section, which serves as a delay before testing recall.
If a patient correctly repeats only one of the three registration words, what is their registration score?
Answer: 1
Registration is scored by counting each correctly repeated word, so repeating one word earns a score of 1.
What cognitive domain does the MMSE registration task primarily assess?
Answer: Immediate recall
Registration measures immediate recall by asking the patient to repeat words right after they are presented.
