Abstract

Objective: As people enter old age, they develop diseases, challenges, and cognitive and behavioral deficits that are associated with decreased abilities. Memory abilities and deficiencies and impaired models can be assessed using neuropsychological instruments, and a rehabilitation program can be developed based on the individuals' memory deficits. The present cross-sectional research aims to develop a new test (henceforth known as the Persian Verbal Learning Test, or PVLT) that is appropriate for Persian-speaking older adults.

Methods: For normative data, we administered PVLT to a group of 374 Persian-speaking healthy older adults consisting of both genders (190 women and 184 men) who were aged 60-89 years old. To determine reliability and validity, we evaluated neurologically healthy older adults and analyzed the results using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Results: The present findings showed that age, education, and gender significantly affect subtests of the PVLT. In the evaluation of reliability, significant positive correlations were observed between the variables of the PVLT in the standard/standard form. Furthermore, moderate correlations were observed between PVLT variables (immediate recall, short-delay recall, long-delay recall, and recognition), and the Immediate and Delayed Logical Memory subtests of Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R). However, subtests of the PVLT also showed significantly positive correlations with MoCA and non-verbal variables of WMS-R.

Conclusion: According to the results of this study and given the good psychometric properties obtained, PVLT can potentially be used as a more appropriate tool than the SVLT for Persian-speaking older adults.

为讲波斯语的老年人开发 12 个单词版本的言语学习测试:可靠性、结构有效性和规范标准。
目的:人进入老年后,会出现疾病、挑战、认知和行为缺陷,这些都与能力下降有关。可以使用神经心理学工具对记忆能力和缺陷以及受损模型进行评估,并根据个人的记忆缺陷制定康复计划。本横断面研究旨在开发一种适合讲波斯语的老年人的新测试(以下称为波斯语言语学习测试,或 PVLT):为了获得标准数据,我们对 374 名年龄在 60-89 岁之间、讲波斯语的健康老年人(女性 190 人,男性 184 人)进行了 PVLT 测试。为了确定信度和效度,我们对神经系统健康的老年人进行了评估,并使用类内相关系数(ICC)和皮尔逊相关系数对结果进行了分析:结果:本研究结果表明,年龄、教育程度和性别对 PVLT 的分测验有显著影响。在信度评估方面,标准/标准形式的 PVLT 各变量之间存在明显的正相关。此外,在 PVLT 变量(即时记忆、短延时记忆、长延时记忆和识别)与韦氏记忆量表-修订版(WMS-R)的即时和延时逻辑记忆分测验之间也发现了中等程度的相关性。然而,PVLT 的子测试也与 MoCA 和 WMS-R 的非语言变量呈显著正相关:根据本研究的结果,并考虑到所获得的良好心理测量特性,PVLT 有可能成为比 SVLT 更适合波斯语老年人的工具。

期刊介绍: The journal publishes original contributions dealing with psychological aspects of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders arising out of dysfunction of the central nervous system. Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology will also consider manuscripts involving the established principles of the profession of neuropsychology: (a) delivery and evaluation of services, (b) ethical and legal issues, and (c) approaches to education and training. Preference will be given to empirical reports and key reviews. Brief research reports, case studies, and commentaries on published articles (not exceeding two printed pages) will also be considered. At the discretion of the editor, rebuttals to commentaries may be invited. Occasional papers of a theoretical nature will be considered.
