The meanings of several target neuropsychological variables, including measures of executive functioning, were examined using contextual analysis across a sample of English-speakers and a sample of Spanish-speakers. Results of the contextual analysis, which examined the contributions of the latent constructs of memory, psychomotor speed, visual spatial ability, and knowledge and comprehension, to the target neuropsychological variables indicate that each of the target variables likely reflects the unique contribution of several reference abilities. These findings provide evidence that the neuropsychological variables are multi-dimensional. The patterns of relations were similar across the samples of English and Spanish speakers.
使用语境分析方法，对一个英语使用者样本和一个西班牙语使用者样本中的几个目标神经心理学变量（包括执行功能的度量）的含义进行了检验。语境分析的结果，检验了记忆、心理运动速度、视觉空间能力和知识理解的潜在结构对目标神经心理学变量的贡献，表明每个目标变量都可能反映了几个参考能力的独特贡献。这些发现提供了证据，表明神经心理学变量是多维度的。英语和西班牙语使用者样本之间的关系模式相似。
