尽管标准化神经心理测量工具的常模数据集经常对受试者变量进行调整，但有理由相信，这种调整所带来的解释准确性的提高并非最佳。特别是，受教育年限与测试表现的关联可能不如整体智力功能紧密。在对梅奥诊所美国老年人常模研究（MOANS）数据库结果的四次重新分析中的最后一次，发现对于56岁至99岁的健康老年受试者，雷伊听觉词语学习测验和视觉空间学习测验的年龄调整分数与梅奥年龄调整的韦氏成人智力量表 - 修订版（WAIS - R）全量表智商分数（相关系数rs = 0.150至0.395）的相关性比与教育程度（相关系数rs = 0.060至0.236）的相关性更强。尽管听觉词语学习测验 - 全量表智商的相关性在中等智力水平时最大，但视觉空间学习测验 - 全量表智商的相关性随着智力的提高而持续增强（参见多德里尔，1997年，1999年）。基于这些结果，我们给出了针对十个年龄范围以及七个（听觉词语学习测验）或五个（视觉空间学习测验）智商范围的梅奥年龄调整的听觉词语学习测验指数分数以及MOANS年龄调整的听觉词语学习测验和视觉空间学习测验量表分数的年龄和智商调整后的百分位等值表。
Although normative data sets for standardized neuropsychometric instruments frequently feature adjustments for subject variables, there are reasons to believe that improvements in interpretive accuracy that result from such adjustments are less than optimal. In particular, years of education may be less closely associated with test performances than is overall intellectual functioning. In this last of four reanalyses of results from the Mayo Clinic's Older Americans Normative Studies (MOANS) databases, age-adjusted scores for the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test and the Visual Spatial Learning Test were found to be more strongly related to Mayo age-adjusted WAIS-R Full Scale IQ scores (rs = .150 to .395) than to education (rs = .060 to .236) for healthy older examinees between 56 and 99 years of age. Although AVLT-FSIQ correlations were greatest at moderate levels of intelligence, VSLT-FSIQ correlations consistently increased in strength as intelligence increased (cf. Dodrill, 1997, 1999). Based on these results, we present tables of age- and IQ-adjusted percentile equivalents of Mayo age-adjusted AVLT index scores and MOANS age-adjusted AVLT and VSLT scaled scores for ten age ranges and either seven (AVLT) or five (VSLT) IQ ranges.
