MoCA's visual-spatial functioning tasks include

• A. Copying a cube figure, completing Trails (numbers, letters), and drawing a clock.
• B. Remembering a list of words, naming animals, and orientation questions.
• C. Reading aloud, repeating phrases, and calculating numbers.
• D. Finger tapping, grooved tapping test, and balance tasks.

Answer: (A)

On the MoCA, visuospatial/executive functioning is assessed with tasks that require perceiving and organizing space and planning actions. Copying a cube figure tests your ability to accurately reproduce a three-dimensional object, which hinges on spatial perception and spatial planning. Drawing a clock requires organizing spatial relationships (where the numbers go) and correctly placing hands, again probing how you visualize and structure space. Trails involving connecting numbers and letters measures sequencing and cognitive flexibility—you have to plan the sequence and switch between sets, tapping executive control in a spatial-temporal task. The other options mix in memory, language, orientation, or motor skills, which are not about processing and organizing space or planning actions.
