Read the first 7 MoCA Cube Copying (Three-Dimensional Copy) flashcards as text

  1. A patient erases part of the cube and redraws it correctly. How should the final drawing be scored?

    Answer: Score the final corrected drawing

    Self-corrections are accepted, and the final product is scored.

  2. Which of these drawings would earn the cube point?

    Answer: A 3D box with all edges, no extra lines, and roughly parallel edges

    Only a drawing meeting all criteria—3D, all lines, no extra lines, parallel edges—scores 1.

  3. Which dementia type is especially known for early, prominent visuospatial deficits that may appear on cube copying?

    Answer: Dementia with Lewy bodies

    Dementia with Lewy bodies characteristically shows marked visuospatial and constructional impairment early.

  4. A patient has a hand tremor causing wavy but connected lines in an otherwise correct 3D cube. What is the most reasonable scoring?

    Answer: 1 point, since tremor-related waviness does not violate the criteria

    The criteria focus on 3D form, line presence, and relative parallelism, not perfect straightness.

  5. What is the maximum score contribution of the cube item to the total MoCA score of 30?

    Answer: 1 point

    The cube is worth exactly 1 of the 30 MoCA points.

  6. Before the cube item on the standard MoCA form, which task appears in the same Visuospatial/Executive section?

    Answer: Alternating Trail Making (1-A-2-B)

    The section begins with the alternating trail task, followed by the cube and the clock.

  7. A patient draws a cube in which the back face is the same size and fully aligned with the front face, so it looks like one square. What is the score?

    Answer: 0, because the drawing is not three-dimensional

    Without visible depth, the figure fails the three-dimensional requirement.
