The purpose of this research was to develop, standardize, and test the reliability of a short neuropsychological test battery in the Spanish language. This neuropsychological battery was named "NEUROPSI," and was developed to assess briefly a wide spectrum of cognitive functions, including orientation, attention, memory, language, visuoperceptual abilities, and executive functions. The NEUROPSI includes items that are relevant for Spanish-speaking communities. It can be applied to illiterates and low educational groups. Administration time is 25 to 30 min. Normative data were collected from 800 monolingual Spanish-speaking individuals, ages 16 to 85 years. Four age groups were used: (1) 16 to 30 years, (2) 31 to 50 years, (3) 51 to 65 years, and (4) 66 to 85 years. Data also are analyzed and presented within 4 different educational levels that were represented in this sample; (1) illiterates (zero years of school); (2) 1 to 4 years of school; (2) 5 to 9 years of school; and (3) 10 or more years of formal education. The effects of age and education, as well as the factor structure of the NEUROPSI are analyzed. The NEUROPSI may fulfill the need for brief, reliable, and objective evaluation of a broad range of cognitive functions in Spanish-speaking populations.
本研究的目的是开发、标准化并测试一种西班牙语简短神经心理测试组合的可靠性。这种神经心理测试组合名为“NEUROPSI”，旨在简要评估广泛的认知功能，包括定向、注意力、记忆、语言、视觉感知能力和执行功能。NEUROPSI包含与说西班牙语群体相关的项目。它可应用于文盲和低教育水平群体。测试用时25至30分钟。从800名年龄在16至85岁的单语西班牙语使用者中收集了常模数据。使用了四个年龄组：(1) 16至30岁，(2) 31至50岁，(3) 51至65岁，以及(4) 66至85岁。数据还按照该样本中所代表的4种不同教育水平进行了分析和呈现；(1) 文盲（未上学）；(2) 上学1至4年；(2) 上学5至9年；以及(3) 接受10年或以上正规教育。分析了年龄和教育的影响以及NEUROPSI的因素结构。NEUROPSI可能满足对说西班牙语人群广泛认知功能进行简短、可靠和客观评估的需求。
