BACKGROUND
Monolingual cognitive assessments are standard for bilinguals; the value of bilingual assessment is unknown. Since declines in animal naming accompany memory declines in dementia, we examined the association between bilingual animal naming and memory among bilingual Mexican American (MA) older adults.
METHODS
Bilingual MA (n = 155) completed the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) in a Texas community study. Regressions included HCAP memory score (English) as the outcome and English and Spanish animal naming trials as independent variables; demographics and language dominance were covariates.
RESULTS
English animal naming ( = 0.06, = 0.004) was more reliably associated with memory than Spanish ( = 0.05, = 0.06). Considered together, only English ( = 0.05, = 0.02) was associated with memory, not Spanish ( = 0.01, = 0.63). Conclusions: Spanish animal naming did not uniquely add to English animal naming in its association with memory among bilingual older MA.
背景
单语认知评估是双语者的标准评估方式；双语评估的价值尚不清楚。由于在痴呆症中，动物命名能力的下降伴随着记忆力的衰退，我们研究了墨西哥裔美国（MA）老年双语者的双语动物命名能力与记忆力之间的关联。
方法
在德克萨斯州的一项社区研究中，155名墨西哥裔美国双语者完成了统一认知评估方案（HCAP）。回归分析以HCAP记忆分数（英语）作为结果，以英语和西班牙语动物命名测试作为自变量；人口统计学特征和语言优势作为协变量。
结果
英语动物命名（β = 0.06，p = 0.004）与记忆力的关联比西班牙语（β = 0.05，p = 0.06）更可靠。综合考虑，只有英语（β = 0.05，p = 0.02）与记忆力有关，而西班牙语（β = 0.01，p = 0.63）则不然。结论：在老年墨西哥裔美国双语者中，西班牙语动物命名在与记忆力的关联方面并没有在英语动物命名的基础上提供独特的价值。
