“…Psychometric studies generally report good reliability and validity in identifying moderate-severe cognitive impairment (Tombaugh & McIntyre, 1992) but weaker sensitivity/specificity in identifying mild cognitive impairment (Carnero-Pardo, 2014;Mitchell, 2009;Tombaugh & McIntyre, 1992). As with many cognitive tests, performance on the MMSE is known to be affected by demographic variables, particularly education, age, ethnicity, and language of test administration (Bravo & Hébert, 1997;Crum, Anthony, Bassett, & Folstein, 1993;Matallana & Reyes-Ortiz, 2011;Ramirez, Teresi, Holmes, Gurland, & Lantigua, 2006;Tombaugh & McIntyre, 1992).…”
