听觉语言学习测验（AVLT）常用于临床评估老年人的记忆功能障碍。作为马约老年非裔美国人规范研究（MOAANS）的一部分，我们提供了年龄和教育调整的标准数据的AVLT。该样本由306名自我认定的非洲裔美国人组成，他们认知正常，居住在社区，年龄从56岁到94岁不等。标准数据中还包括额外的汇总指标，包括学习效率、延迟回忆、保留百分比和代表假阳性识别校正的识别记忆的指标。考虑到使用密切代表感兴趣人群的规范性参考样本的重要性，目前的规范应提供临床有用的数据，用于评估非裔美国人老年人，特别是那些在美国南部接受教育的老年人。
The Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) is frequently used in clinical practice to assess for memory dysfunction in the elderly. Aspart of the Mayo Older African Americans Normative Studies (MOAANS), we provide age and education adjusted normative data for the AVLT. The sample consists of 306 self-identified African Americans who are cognitively normal, community-dwelling and ranging in age from 56 through 94. Additional summary indices are included in the normative data, including learning efficiency, delayed recall, percent retention, and an index representing recognition memory corrected for false-positive identifications. Given the importance of using a normative reference sample that closely represents the population of interest, the current norms should provide clinically useful data for evaluating African American elders, especially those who were educated in the southern United States.
