As Joe Biden faced off against Donald Trump during a recent presidential appearance in Atlanta, calls for his resignation have emerged in the Democratic Party. Speculation about his cognitive decline and dementia has been swirling worldwide. While it is difficult to definitively assess Biden’s cognitive state from just one encounter, some experts estimate that his cognitive decline is more related to his age of 81 and a half years rather than dementia.
President Trump has criticized Biden, stating that “Hamas would not invade Israel if I were president” and claiming that in Tehran, they see Biden as a weak leader. Cognitive impairment is more common as life expectancy increases, with the deterioration of brain tissue playing a key role. Neural specialists can administer simple tests to assess cognitive function, such as the MoCa test, which Trump has reportedly completed successfully.
The MoCa test assesses various cognitive abilities, including short-term memory, spatial perception, abstract reasoning, attention, and more. The test is designed to identify early signs of dementia or cognitive decline and provides a score based on specific tasks completed by the subject. Higher education levels may yield better test scores, as more educated individuals are expected to have stronger cognitive function. A score of 26 or higher is considered normal on the MoCa test.
