ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of low scores in a diverse Latin American population for two neuropsychological commonly used tests to evaluate executive functions and to compare the number of low scores obtained using normative data from a Spanish-speaking population from Latin America versus an English-speaking population from U.S.A. Healthy adults (N = 5402) were administered the Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Stroop Color-Word. Low scores on measures of executive functioning are common. Clinicians working with Spanish-speaking adults should take into account the higher probability of low scores on these measures to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in an individual.

拉丁美洲多国样本中执行功能测试中低分的多元基准率

摘要 本研究的目的是确定两个神经心理学常用测试在不同的拉丁美洲人群中的低分流行率，以评估执行功能，并比较使用来自拉丁语西班牙语人群的规范数据获得的低分数量。美国与来自美国的说英语的人群 健康成年人 (N = 5402) 接受了改良的威斯康星卡片分类测试和 Stroop 颜色词。执行功能测量的低分很常见。与讲西班牙语的成年人一起工作的临床医生应该考虑到这些措施的低分的可能性较高，以减少个体认知缺陷的假阳性诊断。
