In clinical neuropsychology, normative data are necessary to relate the performance of a subject to a reference group. These normative data should be collected from a pertinent population taking into account sociodemographic and cultural factors.
This paper describes the methods and sample characteristics of a series of Spanish normative studies on young adults (NEURONORMA young adults Project). The normative information was based on a series of selected, commonly used, neuropsychological tests covering attention, language, visual-perceptual abilities, constructional tasks, memory, and executive functions.
A sample of 179 cognitively normal subjects from 18 to 49 years was studied. Demographics, socio-cultural, and medical data were collected. The statistical procedure used in the normative studies is described.
Sociodemographic, family background, health habits, medical history and use of drugs are presented.
The use of these norms should improve neuropsychological diagnostic accuracy in young Spanish subjects. These data may also be of considerable use for comparisons with other normative studies.
在临床神经心理学中，规范数据对于将受试者的表现与参照组进行关联是必要的。这些规范数据应从相关人群中收集，并考虑社会人口统计学和文化因素。
本文描述了一系列针对年轻人的西班牙规范研究（NEURONORMA年轻人项目）的方法和样本特征。规范信息基于一系列选定的、常用的神经心理学测试，涵盖注意力、语言、视觉感知能力、构建任务、记忆和执行功能。
研究了179名年龄在18至49岁之间认知正常的受试者样本。收集了人口统计学、社会文化和医学数据。描述了规范研究中使用的统计程序。
呈现了社会人口统计学、家庭背景、健康习惯、病史和药物使用情况。
使用这些规范应能提高西班牙年轻受试者神经心理学诊断的准确性。这些数据对于与其他规范研究进行比较也可能有很大用处。
