It was a spoken word memory test, and I think Reagen pointed out that that series of words wouldn't be used as they have too much in common - TWuG Jul 24, 11:59 1
- I had assumed all of ST had done the MoCA test online, but I guess not. Here is the test, for anyone who's interested. -- (link*) - loosilu Jul 24, 12:00

I guarantee those were not even the words he had to recite back. He made them up on the spot is my guess. -- nm - Jovian Jul 24, 11:57 5

  - ha. I knew it -- nm - Jovian Jul 24, 12:07 3
    - Doesn't it say everything about his priorities? -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 12:11 2
      - I wouldn't put too much on it - anyone asked to make up five "random" words would have a hard time not naming things in front of them - Reagen Jul 24, 12:13 1
        
        True, I forgot it was a TV interview. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 12:15
I believe that was supposed to be a demonstration of the word recall section, so no pictures. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 11:57
The actual words are face, church, velvet, daisy, red. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:56 4
- Interesting that it's a fixed word list. I expected there would be multiple versions. - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 12:21 3
  - It's probably testing longer term memory as well shorter term. -- nm - . Jul 24, 12:33 1
    - They ask you again at the end. So, both kinds. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 12:34
  - Right. If you can't repeat it the first time, you're not going to memorize it so you can cheat. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 12:33
