A Quick Test of Cognitive Speed was administered to 357 participants without cognitive impairment, aged 18 to 85 years, to explore the effects of age on processing speed variables in Spanish speakers and to provide normative data for the test adapted to this population. Results were consistent with previous findings: correlations between age and naming times were high and statistically significant. Linear regression indicated that cognitive processing speed on this test slows 2 to 4 sec. per decade, depending on the task. Normalized data were provided. The findings concur with several studies that have linked age-cognitive impairment with slowing processing speed. This study attempted to assess the importance of this relation, as information processing speed could be considered a measure of cognitive impairment in everyday clinical screening evaluations.
对357名年龄在18至85岁之间、无认知障碍的参与者进行了快速认知速度测试,以探究年龄对说西班牙语人群处理速度变量的影响,并为适用于该人群的测试提供常模数据。结果与先前的研究结果一致:年龄与命名时间之间的相关性很高且具有统计学意义。线性回归表明,根据任务不同,该测试中的认知处理速度每十年减慢2至4秒。提供了标准化数据。这些发现与多项将年龄相关认知障碍与处理速度减慢联系起来的研究一致。本研究试图评估这种关系的重要性,因为在日常临床筛查评估中,信息处理速度可被视为认知障碍的一项指标。
