This is bugging me about Cognitive Testing

"Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV"

I used to work in a setting where I sometimes gave the MMSE.

In the repeat back word test, it specified it was important to choose unconnected words.

The previous list, suggested by a rather famous person as the words from their test, would not pass muster as unconnected words.

Is there another test that uses 5 words, not 3 like the MMSE? Does it not care about connectedness? Does it need more connection because it's 5 words not 3?

Tagged self care so I can stop wondering.
