我们对Shuttleworth-Edwards教授(2016)关于在文化、教育、种族和语言多样化的人群中评估认知功能的非凡挑战的评论进行了评价。首先，我们讨论了在南非及其他地方使用智力测试的目的，以澄清将以哪些标准为基础的参考小组。接下来，我们讨论皮尔逊决定不根据大多数南非人的文化背景调整他们的智力功能衡量标准的心理测量学后果，并使用与人口匹配的标准样本，其中弱势群体占多数。我们响应Shuttleworth-Edwards教授的呼吁，对多元文化背景下的认知测试表现进行大规模的实证研究。在文章的结尾，我们敦促整个神经心理学家社区让测试公司对产生准确和适当的认知功能测量的严格、道德和全面的标准负责。
We offer an appraisal of Professor Shuttleworth-Edwards’s commentary (2016) on the extraordinary challenges of assessment of cognitive function in a culturally, educationally, racially, and linguistically diverse population. First, we discuss the purpose of using intelligence tests in South Africa and beyond in order to clarify the reference group on which norms will be based. Next, we discuss the psychometric consequences of Pearson’s decisions to not adapt their measure of intellectual functioning to the cultural background of the majority of South Africans, and to use a population-matched normative sample in which the disadvantaged group is in the majority. We echo Professor Shuttleworth-Edwards’s call for large-scale empirical studies of cognitive test performance in a multicultural context. We conclude the article by urging the entire community of neuropsychologists to hold test companies accountable to strict, ethical, and comprehensive standards for production of accurate and appropriate measurement of cognitive function.
