Summary

Short cognitive screening tests are used for early detection of cognitive deficits in order to provide appropriate treatment. The aim of this article is to introduce appropriate cognitive screening tests that are usable in a busy general practitioner’s office, are easy to use and reliable enough to differentiate between healthy adults and patients with cognitive impairment. Except for well-known foreign test (Clock drawing test, Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal cognitive test (MoCA)), several new Czech tests are introduced: Amnesia Light and Brief Assessment (ALBA), a Written Picture Naming and Immediate Recall (PICNIC). Duration time, examined cognitive functions, mild cognitive impairment detection, availability of Czech norms and parallel version existence of these tests are compared.
