尽管在非洲裔和西班牙裔美国人中进行了大量研究，但关于日裔美国人在神经心理学测试中的表现的信息却很少。本研究的目的是探讨主导语言和文化适应水平对日裔美国人在选定的神经认知测试中的表现的影响。基于他们自我认定的主导语言，48名英语占主导地位的（ES）日裔美国人（平均年龄= 64.48; SD = 10.52）和52名日语占主导地位的（JS）日裔美国人（平均年龄= 60.17; SD = 11.15）进行了评估的神经认知电池。两组之间的测试表现存在显着差异，与ES组相比，JS组在命名能力，言语和嗅觉学习/记忆以及语言方面的表现较差。文化适应程度解释了群体差异。BVMT-R没有显示出组间差异，表明在这个民族样本中缺乏语言能力和文化适应偏见。在JS组中，自我报告的英语水平和在日本获得的教育年限解释了除了年龄，教育和性别之外的差异，分别在波士顿听力测试和字母流畅性测试中表现。目前的研究强调了在对这一人群进行神经心理学评估时需要对文化敏感的评估。背景的变异性导致了组间和组内表现的变异性。除了年龄和教育的因素，包括主要语言和文化适应的影响，值得考虑时，评估日裔美国人在研究和临床环境中的神经心理学表现。
Despite significant work in African and Hispanic American populations, little information is available regarding performance of Japanese Americans on neuropsychological tests. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of dominant language and acculturation levels on the performance of Japanese Americans on selected neurocognitive tests. Based on their self-identified dominant language, 48 English-dominant speaking (ES) Japanese Americans (mean age = 64.48; SD = 10.52) and 52 Japanese-dominant speaking (JS) Japanese Americans (mean age = 60.17; SD = 11.15) were assessed on a neurocognitive battery. Significant differences in test performance were observed between the groups, with the JS group performing poorer on the measures of naming ability, verbal and olfactory learning/memory, and language, compared to the ES group. Levels of acculturation explained that group difference. The BVMT-R showed no group differences, suggesting lack of language proficiency and acculturation biases in this ethnic sample. Within the JS group, self-reported English proficiency and years of education obtained in Japan explained variance in addition to age, education, and gender, in performance on the Boston Naming Test and the Letter Fluency Test, respectively. The current study highlights the need for culturally sensitive evaluation in the neuropsychological assessment of this population. The variability in backgrounds contributed to the variability in performance between and within groups. Factors in addition to age and education, including the effects of primary language and acculturation, warrant consideration when evaluating the neuropsychological performance of Japanese Americans in research and clinical settings.
