The Functional Assessment of Verbal Reasoning and Executive Strategies (FAVRES; MacDonald, 2005) test was designed for use by speech-language pathologists to assess verbal reasoning, complex comprehension, discourse, and executive skills during performance on a set of challenging and ecologically valid functional tasks. A recent French version of this test was translated from English; however, it had not undergone standardization. The development of normative data that are linguistically and culturally sensitive to the target population is of importance. The present study aimed to establish normative data for the French version of the FAVRES, a commonly used test with native French-speaking patients with traumatic brain injury in Québec, Canada.
The normative sample consisted of 181 healthy French-speaking adults from various regions across the province of Québec. Age and years of education were factored into the normative model.
Results indicate that age was significantly associated with performance on time, accuracy, reasoning subskills, and rationale criteria, whereas the level of education was significantly associated with accuracy and rationale.
Overall, mean scores on each criterion were relatively lower than in the original English version, which reinforces the importance of using the present normative data when interpreting performance of French speakers who have sustained a traumatic brain injury.
言语推理与执行策略功能评估（FAVRES；MacDonald，2005）测试旨在供言语语言病理学家使用，以在一组具有挑战性且生态效度良好的功能任务执行过程中评估言语推理、复杂理解、语篇及执行技能。该测试的最新法语版本是从英语翻译而来；然而，它尚未经过标准化。开发对目标人群具有语言和文化敏感性的常模数据至关重要。本研究旨在为FAVRES法语版本建立常模数据，该测试在加拿大魁北克省常用于母语为法语的创伤性脑损伤患者。
常模样本由来自魁北克省各地的181名健康法语成年人组成。年龄和受教育年限被纳入常模模型。
结果表明，年龄与时间、准确性、推理子技能及基本原理标准方面的表现显著相关，而教育水平与准确性和基本原理显著相关。
总体而言，每个标准的平均得分相对低于原始英语版本，这强化了在解释创伤性脑损伤法语患者的表现时使用当前常模数据的重要性。
