Health care professionals are now faced with a growing number of patients from different ethnic groups, and from different socioeconomical backgrounds. In the field of neuropsychology there is an increasing need of reliable and culturally fair assessment measures. Spanish is the official language in more than 20 countries and the second most spoken language in the world. The purpose of this research was to develop and standardize the neuropsychological battery NEUROPSI ATTENTION AND MEMORY, designed to assess orientation, attention and concentration, executive functions, working memory and immediate and delayed verbal and visual memory. The developmental sequences of attention and memory as well as the educational effects were analyzed in a sample of 521 monolingual Spanish Speaking subjects, aged 6 to 85 years. Educational level ranged from 0 to 22 years of education. The consideration of the developmental sequence, and the effects of education, can improve the sensitivity and specificity of neuropsychological measures.
医疗保健专业人员现在面临着越来越多来自不同种族群体和不同社会经济背景的患者。在神经心理学领域，对可靠且文化公平的评估方法的需求日益增加。西班牙语是20多个国家的官方语言，也是世界上使用人数第二多的语言。本研究的目的是开发并标准化神经心理成套测验NEUROPSI注意力与记忆，旨在评估定向、注意力与专注力、执行功能、工作记忆以及即时和延迟言语及视觉记忆。在521名年龄在6至85岁的单语西班牙语受试者样本中分析了注意力和记忆的发展序列以及教育效果。教育水平从0年到22年不等。考虑发展序列和教育效果可以提高神经心理学测量的敏感性和特异性。
