Reliability and Validity of the Modified Mini Cog: A Measure for Screening Cognitive Functions in Literates and Non-literates

We demonstrated an excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability, and adequate criterion validity, sensitivity and specificity of the MMC. The MMC was also able to discriminate various groups having varied level of cognitive dysfunction. However, further studies are warranted to get more insight into the value of this instrument.

Abstract

We demonstrated an excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability, and adequate criterion validity, sensitivity and specificity of the MMC. The MMC was also able to discriminate various groups having varied level of cognitive dysfunction. However, further studies are warranted to get more insight into the value of this instrument.
