Abstract

This article focuses on evaluating the Total Memory Free Recall (TMFR) subtest of the Neurobehavioral Examination (NBE) as a screening tool for cognitive impairment diagnosis. In a clinical sample of 173 adults under 60 years old, the TMFR score accounted for 26.1% of the variance in cognitive diagnosis and demonstrated good discriminative ability with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.83. A TMFR raw score below 6 was identified as the optimal cutoff for screening, yielding a sensitivity of 0.96 and specificity of 0.62. The findings suggest that the TMFR on the NBE can effectively screen for cognitive impairment and guide referrals for comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.
