How it works
The Mini-Cog combines short-term memory recall with a clock drawing task to explore several cognitive functions in one short session.
This walkthrough is for learning and practice—not a validated clinical Mini-Cog administration.
What it measures
This educational Mini-Cog walkthrough measures three-word recall (0–3 points), clock drawing organization (0–2 points), and combined memory testing themes used in cognitive screening conversations—not a licensed clinical score.
Research context
Research suggests brief combined recall-and-clock tasks are commonly used in primary care screening conversations because they sample memory and visuospatial skills quickly. Studies often discuss Mini-Cog-style approaches as screening aids, not stand-alone diagnoses.
Cognitive screening literature frequently emphasizes that low scores should trigger professional follow-up rather than self-diagnosis. Read our full methodology.
Results Explanation
- Recall score: 0 to 3 points from recalled words.
- Clock score: 0 to 2 points from quick checklist.
- Total: 0 to 5. Lower scores suggest professional follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
Can this diagnose dementia?
No. It is a screening aid only.
Can I use this tool on mobile?
Yes. Canvas and controls support touch and keyboard navigation.
What does a total score of 0–5 mean here?
It reflects recall and clock checklist points for learning only. Clinicians use validated protocols and context—not this educational demo alone.
Should I print or save my clock drawing?
You may save or print for personal notes or to show a clinician as an example of how you approached the task—not as a certified test result.
How is this related to dementia education?
Mini-Cog themes appear in dementia education and cognitive screening discussions. This page explains the flow without providing medical diagnosis.
