The MoCA attention domain includes which tasks?

• A. Digit span
• B. Tapping test
• C. Serial 7s
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Attention in MoCA is assessed with a set of tasks that probe different facets of focus and concentration. The digit span task tests immediate auditory attention and working memory by having you repeat sequences of numbers. The serial sevens task pushes sustained attention and mental calculation, requiring you to supervise a continuous stream of subtraction and keep track of the steps. The tapping test adds a motor-driven attention measure, requiring quick, repeated responses and maintained focus over time. Using these diverse challenges together gives a fuller picture of attentional control than any single task alone, so all three are included in the attention domain.
