While valuable in forensic and medicolegal contexts, these guidelines may limit interpretive flexibility and clinical relevance in diverse practice settings. This manuscript examines the contextual appropriateness of AACN labels across diverse clinical and research settings, highlighting the need for diagnostic flexibility over rigid adherence to normative descriptors. <b>Methods</b>: We reviewed the historical and conceptual underpinnings of neuropsychological assessment, focusing on Ward Halstead's distinction between \"biological\" and \"psychometric\" intelligence. This framework was used to explore how interpretive models shape clinical reasoning and test interpretation. Special attention was given to the implications of score labeling in multidisciplinary team settings (e.g. dementia diagnosis, epilepsy surgery and within large-scale research initiatives, including Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers (ADRCs). <b>Conclusions</b>: Although AACN performance labels support greater transparency and consistency in select contexts, their universal implementation may obscure meaningful cognitive patterns and diminish diagnostic precision. Labels such as \"below average\" may fail to capture clinically meaningful decline in high-functioning individuals or obscure clinically relevant cognitive patterns critical for diagnosis and treatment planning. We argue for a context-sensitive approach to score interpretation that allows flexible, informed use of descriptors aligned with specific referral questions and clinical goals.

We examined variables to include in normative models for Mayo Test Drive (MTD, a multi-device remote cognitive assessment platform) measures, developed normative data, and validated the norms. <b>Method:</b> 1240 Cognitively Unimpaired (CU) adults ages 32-100 years (96% White) from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging and Mayo Alzheimer's Disease Research Center with Clinical Dementia Rating<sup>®</sup> of 0 were included. We converted raw scores to normalized scaled scores and derived regression-based normative data adjusting for age, age<sup>2</sup>, sex, and education (base model); alternative norms are also provided (age + age<sup>2</sup> + sex; age + age<sup>2</sup>). We assessed additional terms using an <i>a priori</i> cut-off of 1% variance improvement above the base model. We examined low test performance rates (< -1 <i>SD</i>) in independent validation samples (<i>n</i> = 167 CU, <i>n</i> = 64 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), <i>n</i> = 14 dementia). Rates were significantly different when 95% confidence intervals (CI) did not include the expected 14.7% base rate. <b>Results:</b> No model terms met the <i>a priori</i> cut-off beyond the base model, including device type, response input source (e.g. mouse, etc.), or session interference. Norms showed expected low performance rates in CU and greater rates of low performance in MCI and dementia in independent validation samples. <b>Conclusion:</b> Typical normative models appear appropriate for remote self-administered MTD measures and are sensitive to cognitive impairment. Device type and response input source did not explain enough variance for inclusion in normative models but are important for individual-level interpretation. Future work will increase the inclusion of individuals from under-represented groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":55250,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Neuropsychologist","volume":" ","pages":"1206-1235"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12178823/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
