Read the first 7 MoCA Verbal Fluency (Letter Fluency) flashcards as text

  1. A patient produces 'fun, funny, fan, fast, faster, fork, fig, fence, fox, farm, friend' in 60 seconds. How many words count toward the score?

    Answer: 9

    'Funny' and 'faster' are same-root variants of 'fun' and 'fast', so 9 valid words remain.

  2. With 9 valid words in the MoCA letter fluency task, what score does the patient earn?

    Answer: 0 points

    The point is awarded only for 11 or more valid words.

  3. A patient says 'Florida' and 'Frank' during the letter fluency task. How are these scored?

    Answer: Neither counts because they are proper nouns

    Proper nouns such as names of people and places are excluded.

  4. A patient says 'phone' and 'photo' during the F-word task. How should the examiner score them?

    Answer: Do not count them because they do not begin with the letter F

    The task requires words beginning with the letter F, not merely the F sound.

    Answer: 1

    Repetitions are counted only once.
