Texas Mexican American adult normative studies: Normative data for commonly used clinical neuropsychological measures for English- and Spanish-speakers

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to provide normative references for Mexican Americans on neuropsychological measures of cognitive functioning. Data were analyzed from a total of 797 Mexican-Americans recruited across three Texas-based studies with approximately one-half of the participants tested in Spanish. Normative tables include: MMSE, AMNART, WMS-III (Logical Memory I, II; Visual Reproduction I, II; Digit Span), CERAD, RAVLT, Exit25, CLOX 1 & 2, Trail Making Test- A&B, BNT, COWA, and Animal Naming. The norms were stratified by education then age. Normative references were generated for Texas-based Mexican Americans and data may be limited to the population sampled.
