The aim of the present work was to develop and validate a recognition task to be used with the Spanish version of the 16 items Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT).
A total of 96 (67.7% women) cognitively healthy, functionally independent community-dwelling participants aged 55 years or older underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. A recognition task for the FCSRT was developed that included the original 16 items, 16 semantically related items, and eight unrelated foils. Indices of discriminability (d') and response bias (C), as well as 95% confidence intervals for chance-level responding were calculated.
On average, our sample was 65.71 years old (SD = 6.68, range: 55-87), had 11.39 years of formal education (SD = 3.37, range: 3-19), and a Mini-Mental State Examination score = 28.42 (SD = 1.49, range: 25-30). Recognition scores did not differ statistically between sexes, nor did they correlate with demographics. Participants scored at ceiling levels (mean number of Hits = 15.52, SD = 0.906, mean number of False Alarms = 0.27, SD = 0.589). All the participants scored above chance levels.
Normative data from a novel recognition task for the Spanish version of the FCSRT are provided for use in clinical and research settings. Including a recognition task in the assessment of memory functioning might help uncover the pattern of memory impairments in older adults, and can help improve the memory profile of people with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment. Future research is warranted to validate and expand the recognition task.
本研究旨在开发并验证一个识别任务，用于西班牙语版的 16 项自由和线索选择性回忆测试（FCSRT）。
共有 96 名（67.7%为女性）认知健康、功能独立的社区居住参与者，年龄在 55 岁或以上，接受了全面的神经心理学评估。开发了一个 FCSRT 的识别任务，包括原始的 16 项、16 项语义相关项和 8 项不相关的干扰项。计算了辨别力指数（d'）和反应偏差（C），以及 95%置信区间的机会水平反应。
平均而言，我们的样本年龄为 65.71 岁（标准差=6.68，范围：55-87），受教育年限为 11.39 年（标准差=3.37，范围：3-19），迷你精神状态检查分数=28.42（标准差=1.49，范围：25-30）。识别分数在性别之间没有统计学差异，也与人口统计学无关。参与者的得分达到了天花板水平（平均正确数=15.52，标准差=0.906，平均错误数=0.27，标准差=0.589）。所有参与者的得分均高于机会水平。
为西班牙语版 FCSRT 的新识别任务提供了正常数据，可用于临床和研究环境。在评估记忆功能时加入识别任务可以帮助揭示老年人记忆损伤的模式，并有助于改善遗忘型轻度认知障碍患者的记忆特征。需要进一步的研究来验证和扩展识别任务。
