在美国，用于评估西班牙语使用者认知能力的口头材料通常具有语言学上不可接受的质量。在研究环境中使用这些材料被认为对测试有效性构成严重威胁，从而对所声称的结果或结论的有效性构成严重威胁。作者解释了不正确的语言如何以及为什么会出现在研究和其他环境中使用的认知测试中，并提出了解决这个严重问题的方法。
Verbal material used to assess the cognitive abilities of Spanish-speakers in the the United States is frequently of linguistically unacceptable quality. The use of these materials in research settings is thought to pose a serious threat to test validity and hence to the validity of claimed results or conclusions. The authors explain how and why incorrect language finds its way into cognitive tests used in research and other settings and suggest solutions to this serious problem.
