Although Arabic is one of the most widely used languages in the world, little is known on the availability of standardized neuropsychological tests in Arabic. We review the literature published before 2016, using the keywords Arab*, cogniti*, and neuropsycholo*, as well as keywords for each Arab country. PubMed, PsycINFO, Education Source, Academic Search Complete, Education Resources Information Center, Shamaa, and Arabpsynet databases were searched, in addition to a selected number of Arabic medical and educational journals. After excluding case reports, studies conducted on Arab groups residing outside the Arab world or Israel, and studies that employed intelligence scales or cognitive screens without standardization, 384 studies were eventually reviewed. Tests with most extensive use, adaptation, validation and norming were identified. The Raven Matrices, with its variants, was the most normed cognitive test for Arab individuals (normed in 16 countries). The rate of neuropsychology publications from the Arab countries combined, per year, was less than half of that of each American journal (top 10 journals pertaining to cognition). Nonetheless, the rate in Arab countries has increased after 2010. Publications were mostly from Egypt and Saudi Arabia, but the ratio of test adaptation-to-publication was the largest in Jordan and Lebanon. Approximately half of these publications did not employ cognitive tests that were developed, translated, adapted, or standardized according to international guidelines of psychological measurement. We provide recommendations on improving clinical neuropsychology to better serve Arab patients.

阿拉伯世界的神经心理学措施：系统评价

尽管阿拉伯语是世界上使用最广泛的语言之一，但是对于使用阿拉伯语进行标准化神经心理学测试的了解却很少。我们使用关键词Arab *，cogniti *和Neuropsycholo *回顾了2016年之前发表的文献，以及每个阿拉伯国家/地区的关键字。除选定数量的阿拉伯医学和教育期刊外，还搜索了PubMed，PsycINFO，教育资源，学术搜索完成，教育资源信息中心，Shamaa和Arabpsynet数据库。在排除病例报告，对居住在阿拉伯世界或以色列之外的阿拉伯团体进行的研究以及采用没有标准化的情报量表或认知筛查的研究后，最终对384项研究进行了回顾。确定了具有最广泛使用，适应，验证和规范的测试。Raven矩阵及其变体是针对阿拉伯人（在16个国家中规范）的最规范的认知测验。每年来自阿拉伯国家的神经心理学出版物的数量合计，少于每本美国期刊（与认知有关的前十种期刊）的一半。尽管如此，阿拉伯国家的发病率在2010年之后有所增加。出版物主要来自埃及和沙特阿拉伯，但约旦和黎巴嫩的测试适应性与出版率之比最大。这些出版物中大约有一半没有采用根据国际心理测量准则开发，翻译，改编或标准化的认知测试。我们提供有关改善临床神经心理学以更好地为阿拉伯患者服务的建议。这些出版物中大约有一半没有采用根据国际心理测量准则开发，翻译，改编或标准化的认知测试。我们提供有关改善临床神经心理学以更好地为阿拉伯患者服务的建议。这些出版物中大约有一半没有采用根据国际心理测量准则开发，翻译，改编或标准化的认知测试。我们提供有关改善临床神经心理学以更好地为阿拉伯患者服务的建议。
