To provide normative data and examine form equivalency of the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) in a sample of 9 decade adults. The sample was comprised of 90 healthy individuals ages 80-84 (n = 42) and 85-89 (n = 48). The average years of education was 14.8 (2.4). The BVMT-R Forms 1 and 4 were administered in a counterbalanced order, one week apart. Form equivalency was conducted utilizing Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). There were no significant gender, education, or MMSE differences between the two age groups or between the counterbalanced subgroups. There were no significant differences between Forms 1 and 4 for the 80-84 age group. However, BVMT-R Form 1 Trial 1 and Total Recall raw scores were significantly higher than those for Form 4 in the 85-89 age group. Individuals in their early 80s obtained comparable scores on Forms 1 and 4 of the BVMT-R; however, individuals in their late 80 s showed more difficulty learning and recalling information presented in Form 4 compared to Form 1. It is recommended that clinicians consider form-specific normative data with this population.
为了在一个 90 岁成年人的样本中提供规范数据并检查Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised（BVMT-R）的形式等效性。该样本由 90 名健康个体组成，年龄在 80-84 岁（n=42）和 85-89 岁（n=48）之间。平均受教育年限为 14.8（2.4）年。BVMT-R 的形式 1 和 4 以平衡的顺序，相隔一周进行。采用方差分析（ANOVA）进行形式等效性检验。在两个年龄组或平衡分组之间，没有显著的性别、教育程度或 MMSE 差异。对于 80-84 岁年龄组，形式 1 和 4 之间没有显著差异。然而，在 85-89 岁年龄组中，BVMT-R 形式 1 的第 1 次试验和总回忆原始分数明显高于形式 4。80 岁出头的个体在 BVMT-R 的形式 1 和 4 上获得了可比的分数；然而，80 岁以上的个体在学习和回忆形式 4 中呈现的信息时比形式 1 更困难。建议临床医生考虑该人群的特定形式的规范数据。
