Within the field of neuropsychology, there is a significant lack of normative data for individuals in Latin America.
To describe the methodology utilized to obtain the data and create norms for 10 Spanish-language neuropsychological tests administered in 11 Latin-American countries in a sample of 3,977 healthy individuals between the ages 18 and 90.
The same data manipulation process was applied to the data collected (regardless of the scale or country) using a regression-based procedure that takes into account sex, age, and educational influences on neuropsychological test scores.
Following this procedure, we were able to generate age, education, and sex (if relevant) based norms for each test in each of the 11 countries studied. These norms are presented in the 10 articles that comprise this special issue.
在神经心理学领域，拉丁美洲人群的规范数据严重匮乏。
描述在11个拉丁美洲国家对3977名年龄在18至90岁之间的健康个体进行10项西班牙语神经心理学测试时，用于获取数据并制定规范的方法。
使用基于回归的程序对收集到的数据（无论量表或国家）应用相同的数据处理过程，该程序考虑了性别、年龄和教育程度对神经心理学测试分数的影响。
按照此程序，我们能够为所研究的11个国家中的每个国家的每项测试生成基于年龄、教育程度和性别（如适用）的规范。这些规范在构成本特刊的10篇文章中呈现。
