Abstract reasoning is assessed using a describe-the-similarity task with 2 points being available.Language is assessed using a three-item confrontation naming task with low-familiarity animals ( lion, camel, rhinoceros 3 points), repetition of two syntactically complex sentences (2 points), and the aforementioned fluency task.Attention, concentration, and working memory are evaluated using a sustained attention task (target detection using tapping 1 point), a serial subtraction task (3 points), and digits forward and backward (1 point each).Multiple aspects of executive function are assessed using an alternation task adapted from the trail-making B task (1 point), a phonemic fluency task (1 point), and a two-item verbal abstraction task (2 points).Visuospatial abilities are assessed using a clock-drawing task (3 points) and a three-dimensional cube copy (1 point).The short-term memory recall task (5 points) involves two learning trials of five nouns and delayed recall after approximately five minutes.The MoCA assesses several cognitive domains: Successive results show a deterioration of pattern processing ability in a subject as they progress from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to severe Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this clock drawing task, the subject is asked to draw a clock with the hours and showing the time 2:30. The test is available in 46 languages and dialects (as of 2017). The test and administration instructions are available for clinicians online. The MoCA is a one-page 30-point test administered in approximately 10 minutes. The basics of this test include short-term memory, executive function, attention, focus, and more. The original English version is performed in seven steps, which may change in some countries dependent on education and culture. This test consists of 30 points and takes 10 minutes for the individual to complete. It was validated in the setting of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and has subsequently been adopted in numerous other clinical settings. It was created in 1996 by Ziad Nasreddine in Montreal, Quebec. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment ( MoCA) is a widely used screening assessment for detecting cognitive impairment. I suspect not – in fact, it might be rather refreshing.In the Montreal test, the participant is requested to draw a clock.Įvaluation of cognitive deficit and Alzheimer's disease I wonder if I would be alarmed now by its rudimentary nature having become used to Bluetooth connectivity, lateral seat support and electric everything. Rolling back that roof was fun, though, and I thought that a car really didn’t need to be much more than that. My friend’s 2CV was notoriously unreliable, or at least it took a good deal of patience on a chilly morning before it started. Although it became a bit whiffy in winter, it struck everyone as rather a sensible use of a car that was hardly used. Every night, a homeless man would sleep in the Citroen. While his brother was studying law in London, he worked as a caretaker of the building in which he lived. In my twenties, my best friend inherited a 2CV from his older brother. Loaded up, I remember how it leaned alarmingly at every corner and how the chattering engine complained loudly as I drove up Putney Hill but it gave the day a tremendous sense of occasion and fun.

It was cheap to rent and I could remove all but the driver’s seat to pile in all my junk. When I moved flat in my early twenties, I hired a Citroen 2CV from a company that hired out only bright red 2CVs. A valued souvenir of the trip was a model of the Citroen 2CV which I still possess (although I long ago snapped off the protruding headlamps). My family rented a cottage in Brittany and I can recall even at that age being fascinated by the cars, which looked so different from the ones in Britain.

I have a particular love for this car as it reminds me of my very first ‘continental’ holiday when I was five.

This week’s Design File is about the Citroen 2CV, the umbrella on wheels that Pierre Boulanger demanded.
