To provide normative values for the Italian population for the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS), a recent brief neuropsychological instrument for the assessment of cognition in patients with schizophrenia.
Data were collected from 204 healthy adult Italian subjects, stratified by gender, education and age.
Tests included in the BACS are the following: list learning, digit sequencing, verbal fluency, token motor task, symbol-coding and Tower of London. Normative values were established using the Equivalent Scores method in order to enable comparison with other neuropsychological tasks commonly used in the assessment of the Italian population. Performance on the BACS was influenced by the commonest demographic variables such as age and education.
The availability of normative data for the Italian population will increase the usefulness of this test for both clinical and experimental purposes.
为意大利人群提供精神分裂症认知简短评估量表(BACS)的常模值,该量表是一种最新的用于评估精神分裂症患者认知功能的简短神经心理学工具。
从204名健康的成年意大利受试者中收集数据,按性别、教育程度和年龄进行分层。
BACS包含的测试如下:列表学习、数字序列、言语流畅性、标记运动任务、符号编码和伦敦塔测验。使用等效分数法建立常模值,以便能够与意大利人群评估中常用的其他神经心理学任务进行比较。BACS的表现受年龄和教育程度等最常见人口统计学变量的影响。
意大利人群常模数据的可得性将提高该测试在临床和实验目的方面的实用性。
