The use of neuropsychological tests in non-English-speaking populations and among those with less education has been limited because most tests have been standardized for English-speaking populations with relatively high levels of education. In effort to establish norms, a battery of neuropsychological tests was administered, in either English or Spanish, to 995 normal elders with a wide range of educational attainment, residing in the community of Washington Heights-Inwood in northern Manhattan. Results indicate that age, education, and language all influence test performance and should be considered when evaluating neuropsychological measures.
由于大多数神经心理学测试是针对受过较高教育的英语人群进行标准化的，因此在非英语人群和受教育程度较低的人群中，神经心理学测试的应用受到了限制。为了建立常模，对居住在曼哈顿北部华盛顿高地-因伍德社区的995名教育程度各异的正常老年人进行了一系列英语或西班牙语的神经心理学测试。结果表明，年龄、教育程度和语言都会影响测试表现，在评估神经心理学指标时应予以考虑。
