In Brazil, there are still no comparative studies between adapted versions of the test in healthy individuals. This study compared scores obtained on versions A and B of the RAVLT-A, routinely used in the neuropsychological assessment of patients with epilepsy and investigated the effects of age, education and version used. A prospective study with 188 cognitively healthy adults was randomly assigned to two groups (version A or B). Comparative analyses between groups and multivariate linear regression models were conducted to examine the impact of age, education and version on RAVLT-A scores. No significant differences were observed between versions A and B of the RAVLT-A (<i>p</i> &gt; .05). Regression indicated a significant influence of age and, especially, education on performance on the test variables. The version used had no statistically relevant impact on the scores. This is the first Brazilian study to examine two adapted versions of the RAVLT-A in healthy adults. The findings demonstrate comparability between versions A and B, supporting their alternate use in reassessments to reduce practice effects. Age and, especially, education significantly influenced performance, emphasizing the need for normative data stratified by both variables, since those commonly used in Brazil are stratified only by age.</p>","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"20 1","pages":"175-185"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12976817/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145443643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Interpreter-mediated paediatric neuropsychological assessments: Clinician and interpreter experiences and consensus-based recommendations","authors":"Freddie O'Donald,&nbsp;Clara Calia","doi":"10.1111/jnp.70024","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jnp.70024","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Interpreter-mediated assessments are increasingly common in paediatric neuropsychology, both globally and within the United Kingdom, due to the rising linguistic and cultural diversity of service users. However, limited research has examined how interpreters and clinicians navigate the complexities of delivering developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive and psychometrically valid assessments. This qualitative study explored the experiences of 10 paediatric neuropsychologists and nine professional interpreters across NHS services in the United Kingdom. Semi-structured interviews examined the challenges, role expectations and collaborative practices within interpreter-mediated cognitive assessments. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, with key themes highlighting tensions between access and standardisation, differing interpretations of the interpreter's role and the unique demands of neuropsychological testing in children. Participants consistently emphasised the value of structured collaboration, such as pre-assessment briefings and post-assessment debriefs, though these practices were inconsistently applied. A two-round structured consensus-building exercise, informed by Delphi methodology but adapted for a smaller, profession-specific sample, was subsequently conducted with 13 participants to generate consensus-based recommendations. Nine statements reached an agreement of ≥80%, including the need for joint preparation, interpreter access to sample materials and tailored training for both interpreters and clinicians. These findings underscore the distinct cognitive, relational and linguistic challenges inherent to interpreter-mediated paediatric neuropsychological assessment and call for more explicit guidance and professional development. The study contributes to cross-cultural neuropsychology by providing practice-oriented recommendations to enhance the quality and equity of assessments. Future work should focus on implementation, particularly within resource-constrained or multilingual settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":"20 1","pages":"231-245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jnp.70024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145585497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Involvement of experts by experience helps ensure that clinical and health research is relevant, ethical and accessible. While public contributors are likely to view co-production as important, what do public contributors know and think about other open research practices (e.g., pre-registration, data sharing)? We carried out a mixed methods online survey investigating what public contributors already know and would like to know about different open research practices, working with public contributors to shape the study. The 64 participants had a range of lived experience, which they had contributed to research and were passionate about the benefits of co-production. Although many participants did not know the term 'open research', they rated specific practices as familiar and important, seeing the moral imperative. Participants described the balance of practical benefits (e.g., efficiency, transparency) and potential risks (e.g., data sharing, pre-prints). Some practices (e.g., pre-registration) were less well understood, and participants learnt more about open research from the survey. Most participants were interested to learn more, and over 70% indicated an interest in further training. Overall, there is a need and an opportunity to share accessible information and training about open research with those who contribute their lived experience to research.

The perisylvian variant, also known as congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome (CBPS), is believed to occur in the context of post-migrational trauma during gestational development. Due to the heterogeneity and low prevalence of CBPS, few case studies have characterized its neuropsychological sequelae. We describe an illustrative case study of a 20-year-old young adult male with intellectual and expressive language impairments. Patient's history was notable for significantly delayed developmental milestones such that he was never able to speak beyond single words/syllables. He experienced his first seizure at the age of 6 and, at the time of the evaluation, he was experiencing breakthrough seizures despite being on anti-seizure medication. Given limited expressive language abilities, a bottom-up approach was utilized wherein abilities were assessed iteratively. Data were broadly consistent with moderate-to-severe intellectual disability with deficits in basic and higher-order language globally influencing domains such as spatial attention, working memory and visual learning/recall. He benefited from recognition cues. Motor testing revealed bilaterally impaired strength and fine motor speed/dexterity that were non-lateralized. Collateral report indicated that he required significant support in adaptive functioning and prompting to complete even basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Although fairly brief, this evaluation largely utilized measures that did not require expressive language. This case further highlights the challenges in characterizing cognitive abilities in CBPS patients who fall on the severe end of the spectrum and also have a concomitant history of epilepsy.</p>","PeriodicalId":197,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146123020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
