Abstract

Background: Hispanics/Latinos are the largest racial/ethnic group among underrepresented populations in the U.S. and multiple sociodemographic, cultural, and linguistic factors have been found to impact their performances on cognitive testing. Despite this, few normative data are available for the heterogeneous Spanish-speaking population in the U.S.

Objective: To generate normative data on the Trail-Making Test (TMT), Bells Test, Symbol-Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), and the Brief Test of Attention (BTA) for Spanish speakers residing in the U.S.

Methods: The sample included 245 Spanish-speaking individuals aged 18- 80 from eight states across the U.S. (California, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, New Jersey, Oregon, Virginia, and Wisconsin). Participants were administered attention and processing speed measures as part of a comprehensive neuropsychological battery. We used a Bayesian regression approach to estimate normative data, including covariates found to be important for predicting performances on measures of attention and processing speed.

Results: Sociodemographic factors including education, time in the U.S., acculturation, age, and/or sex had differential effects on the TMT-A, TMT-B, SDMT, and the BTA whereas the Bells Test was not influenced by any of these sociodemographic factors.

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that while sex, age, and educational attainment are important factors to consider, language and acculturation can also influence attention and processing speed performances among Spanish speakers in the U.S.

注意力和处理速度测试:美国讲西班牙语成年人的标准数据。
背景:西班牙裔/拉美裔是美国代表性不足人群中最大的种族/民族群体,多种社会人口、文化和语言因素被发现会影响他们在认知测试中的表现。尽管如此,针对美国异质西班牙语人口的常模数据却寥寥无几:目的:为居住在美国的讲西班牙语的人提供有关踪迹测验(TMT)、贝尔测验(Bells Test)、符号-数字模型测验(SDMT)和注意力简短测验(BTA)的标准数据:样本包括来自美国八个州(加利福尼亚州、康涅狄格州、佛罗里达州、印第安纳州、新泽西州、俄勒冈州、弗吉尼亚州和威斯康星州)的 245 名 18-80 岁讲西班牙语的人。作为综合神经心理测试的一部分,我们对参与者进行了注意力和处理速度测量。我们采用贝叶斯回归法估算常模数据,其中包括被认为对预测注意力和处理速度测量结果非常重要的协变量:结果:包括教育程度、在美时间、文化程度、年龄和/或性别在内的社会人口因素对 TMT-A、TMT-B、SDMT 和 BTA 有不同的影响,而 Bells Test 则不受这些社会人口因素的影响:我们的研究结果表明,虽然性别、年龄和教育程度是需要考虑的重要因素,但语言和文化背景也会影响讲西班牙语的美国人的注意力和处理速度。

期刊介绍: NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders. We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
