Cognitive Screening of Nursing Home Residents: Factor Structures of the Mini‐Mental State Examination

OBJECTIVE: To examine factor structures of the Mini‐Mental State Examination, attempting first to replicate any of previously proposed 2‐factor solutions; and to explore, secondly, the presence of clinically more differentiated and statistically stable factor structures representing common neurocognitive dimensions.
