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

  1. A patient draws a cube with all 12 lines present, but one extra diagonal line runs across the front face. How should the cube item be scored?

    Answer: 0 points, because no lines may be added

    MoCA scoring requires that no extra lines are added, so any added line makes the item 0.

  2. How many total points are available in the MoCA Visuospatial/Executive section that contains the cube item?

    Answer: 5

    The section totals 5 points: trail making 1, cube 1, and clock 3.

  3. A patient copies the cube as a flat square with a smaller square inside and no connecting lines. What is the score?

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

    The drawing must be three-dimensional; a flat figure earns no point.

  4. A patient draws a three-dimensional rectangular box instead of a perfect cube, with all lines present, no extra lines, and parallel edges. What is the score?

    Answer: 1 point

    MoCA instructions accept a rectangular prism if all other criteria are met.

  5. Which instruction does the examiner give for the cube item?

    Answer: Copy this drawing as accurately as you can, in the space below

    The standard instruction asks the patient to copy the drawing as accurately as possible below it.

  6. A patient omits one of the back vertical edges but otherwise draws a good 3D cube. How is this scored?

    Answer: 0 points, because all lines must be drawn

    All lines of the model must be drawn to earn the point.

  7. The cube item primarily assesses which cognitive domain?

    Answer: Visuoconstructional/visuospatial ability

    Copying a 3D figure tests visuospatial perception and constructional praxis.
