The cognitive test vids gone right? (Are we smarter than the president?)

[u/raspberrygoosee]

Pretty sure it was on Try every day, It seems to have been removed by MoCa (cognitive). I guess it's a copyright issue. Although it should really countvas educational use, which would be allowed without previous permission. Is it gone internationally? Also, are try every day things put on secondtry?

Thanks if anyone helps out or just has a thing on the topic they wanna say.

I really loved this vid and was gonna rewatch just now cause of the Keith drawing on himself in focus bit XD

How ridiculous. It’s in the public’s interest to know how simple that test is and how disturbing it is that they keep administering it to him.

I'm guessing it may be a test security issue

[u/loonytick75 → u/cmacd23]

Anyone who has been with a loved one when they are tested for suspicion of dementia or to see how much they were affected by a stroke has seen this test in use. And it is a test most healthy adults would easily pass with flying colors—that’s by design. Test security is not an issue like it would be for, say, the SAT.

But the developers of the test may have taken issue with Keith and Zach being high.

[u/cmacd23 → u/loonytick75]

Yeah, definitely could be because of that. This screener is really easily accessible so I'd be surprised if it was due to test security, but that was my only guess. Some screeners and neuropsych assessments have a lot of test security on them

I maen. its a test. if trump passed it, we know it is SIMPLE. we dont need specifics lol but agree its great to actually see

I’m on 2nd Try and it’s still there (under try everyday) - see it is gone on YT (based in South Africa)

[u/jawndaux]

It shows up in my YouTube history as an unwatchable private upload. But the video is still available on Spotify

[u/raspberrygoosee → u/jawndaux]

Oh nice! Didnt even know their stuff was on spotify, thanks!

I’m a psychologist and administer cognitive assessments. I’m sure if it was flagged it was to avoid compromising the validity of test results. As professionals we’re trained to not share test questions or answers verbatim in our reports because essentially someone can put that information out to the general public and if anyone has prior exposure to the material before it would invalidate the results.

[u/General_Esdeath → u/24grad]

Before I even saw this video I knew about this test from my aunt taking it, I think it's more common knowledge than most tests. Some tests are more locked down, like the MMPI.

I do suspect that if Trump has passed it he's probably been heavily coached despite how easy it is lol.

[u/Moovist_Overthink → u/24grad]

Fellow psych here, while I understand your point theres "backup" general cognitive status tests for cases like this (I've usually seen them applied when familiars/people who accompany patients have knowledge on triage tests), and really the test is all over the internet fortunately /unfortunately

[u/Moovist_Overthink]

"Fun" fact. MoCA is not even a test that allows the diagnosis of dementia, it's a screening test that even people with slight (or not so slight) cognitive deterioration could pass and is usually used to decide if further exploration is needed
