The information test consisted of 10 questions concerned with orientation for time, place and person, and another 10 relating to well-known events, people and dates.
My hiring manager customized an onboarding experience with my temperament in mind, building space into my orientation schedule for time to think, take notes and prioritize.
The K-MMSE included items assessing orientation (5 points for time- and 5 points for place-orientation), memory (3 points for immediate- and 3 points for delayed-recall), serial subtractions (5 points), language ability (2 points for naming, 3 points for oral command comprehension, and 1 point each for repetition, reading, and writing), and visuospatial ability (1 point).
They also found associations of MMSE subscale scores for time orientation, place orientation, calculation, delayed recall, and copying with cardiovascular mortality.
All-cause mortality also decreased with increases in MMSE subscale scores for time orientation, place orientation, delayed recall, naming objects, and listening and obeying.
In a study of community-dwelling Japanese aged 79 years and older, 9 all-cause mortality increased with decreases in the scores of the MMSE subscales for time orientation, place orientation, calculation, delayed recall, repeating a sentence, and copying a figure.
10 We also found in our population an association between total mortality with MMSE subscale scores for time orientation, recall of words, naming objects, place orientation, and listening and obeying, indicating that an association with all-cause mortality may be found for global MMSE scores or MMSE subscale scores even in 85 year-olds, a very elderly population.
With Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparison, significant associations between total mortality and one MMSE subscale point were only found for time orientation and delayed recall of words.
We also argue that solar cues may be used for certain functions in orientation without the need for time compensation at all, such as in maintaining a course that has already been set.
Similarly, in Koreans aged 60 and over, impaired cognitive function as determined by not only global MMSE score, but also the MMSE subscale scores for time orientation and calculation, was associated with increased total mortality.
