What score is generally considered indicative of normal cognitive functioning?

A score of 26 or above on the MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) is typically recognized as indicative of normal cognitive functioning. The MoCA is designed to assess different cognitive domains such as attention, memory, language, and executive functions. When a person achieves a score of 26 or higher, it generally suggests that they possess adequate cognitive abilities relative to the population norms, indicating that their cognitive function is not significantly impaired. Scores below this threshold may signal mild cognitive impairment or other cognitive issues that warrant further evaluation or monitoring.
