This data set is referred to in the paper Dawes, P., et al. (in press). Development and validation of the Montreal cognitive assessment for people with vision impairment (MoCA-VI). Psychological Assessment.

Vision loss is common among older adults and impacts performance on cognitive screening tests, resulting in over-estimation of cognitive impairment. But validated screening tests for people with vision impairment are lacking. These data pertain to the development and validation of a version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment for adults with acquired vision impairment.

The protocol for the development of the MoCA-VI was published in 2019: Dawes, P., Pye, A., Reeves, D., Yeung, W. K., Sheikh, S., Thodi, C., ... & Leroi, I. (2019). Protocol for the development of versions of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for people with hearing or vision impairment. BMJ open, 9(3), e026246.
