3 Describe one of the tests for assessing cognitive function in adults.

One commonly used test for assessing cognitive function in adults is the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The MMSE is a 30-point questionnaire used to screen for cognitive impairment. It assesses various cognitive domains, including orientation, recall, attention, calculation, language, and visuospatial abilities. The test typically takes about 10-15 minutes to administer and is widely used in clinical and research settings to monitor cognitive changes in individuals with dementia or other neurological conditions.
