Abstract

We examined relationships between demographic variables and Benton Visual Retention Test performance in 352 healthy Greek adults, aged 18-84 years. We derived norms for BVRT total number correct and error scores adjusted for variables that contributed significantly to the variance. We also investigated BVRT performance in 28 acute stroke patients M = 6.14 days after insult. Age, education, and IQ, but not gender, were significantly associated with BVRT performance in healthy participants. However, only age contributed significantly to BVRT performance in acute stroke patients. Test-retest reliability was moderate (.782) for number correct and low for number error (.596) scores. Practice effects were noted only for number correct score. The test appears to discriminate adequately between acute stroke patients and matched healthy controls.

摘要

我们研究了352名年龄在18 - 84岁之间的希腊健康成年人的人口统计学变量与本顿视觉保持测验成绩之间的关系。我们得出了经对显著影响方差的变量进行调整后的本顿视觉保持测验正确总数和错误分数的常模。我们还调查了28例急性中风患者（发病后平均6.14天）的本顿视觉保持测验成绩。在健康参与者中，年龄、教育程度和智商与本顿视觉保持测验成绩显著相关，但性别并非如此。然而，在急性中风患者中，只有年龄对本顿视觉保持测验成绩有显著影响。正确数的重测信度中等（0.782），错误数分数的重测信度较低（0.596）。仅在正确数分数上发现了练习效应。该测试似乎能够充分区分急性中风患者和匹配的健康对照组。
