The Neuropsychological Screening Battery for Hispanics (NeSBHIS) was developed to address the growing need for linguistically appropriate Spanish-language assessment measures. Despite the potential benefits to clinical practice, no prior study has assessed its diagnostic validity in populations with epilepsy. One hundred and fifteen patients with confirmed epilepsy were evaluated via the NeSBHIS; these data were standardized according to age- and education-based norms. Performance decrements were observed in more than 40% of participants on measures of processing speed and naming. Deficits in verbal and visual recall were also exhibited by 29 and 26% of the sample, respectively. No significant differences in test performance emerged between patients with VEEG evidence of left (N=48) versus right (N=24) temporal lobe epilepsy. Although the NeSBHIS is sensitive to the cognitive impairments commonly observed in populations with epilepsy, there are limitations to its ability to identify lateralized neuropsychological impairment in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
神经心理学西班牙语筛查测验 (NeSBHIS) 是为了满足对语言适当的西班牙语评估措施的日益增长的需求而开发的。尽管对临床实践有潜在的好处，但以前没有研究评估过其在癫痫患者人群中的诊断有效性。115 名确诊癫痫的患者通过 NeSBHIS 进行了评估；根据年龄和教育基础的标准对这些数据进行了标准化。在处理速度和命名测试中，超过 40%的参与者表现出了明显的认知能力下降。言语和视觉回忆分别有 29%和 26%的样本存在缺陷。在有左侧（N=48）和右侧（N=24）颞叶癫痫的 VEEG 证据的患者之间，测试表现没有显著差异。尽管 NeSBHIS 对癫痫患者中常见的认知障碍敏感，但它在识别颞叶癫痫患者的侧化神经认知障碍方面存在局限性。
