神经心理学的措施和规范性数据的局限性暴露为使用这些措施之间的文化和语言不同的人扩大在临床和研究环境。在文献中出现了几种不同的策略来解决少数民族之间认知测量的特异性差的问题，然而，单独的种族/民族群体规范的发展一直是主要的方法。这篇评论讨论了为非裔美国人建立单独规范的利弊。另一种方法，涉及种族和教育的解构，可能有助于澄清种族，文化，教育质量和社会经济地位对认知和神经心理测试表现的独立影响。
Limitations of neuropsychological measures and normative data are exposed as use of these measures among culturally and linguistically different people expands in clinical and research settings. Several different tactics to solve the problem of poor specificity of cognitive measures among ethnic minorities have emerged in the literature, however, the development of separate racial/ethnic group norms has been the predominant approach. This commentary addresses the advantages and disadvantages of establishing separate norms for African Americans. Another approach, involving the deconstruction of race and education, may help to clarify the independent influences of race, culture, quality of education, and socioeconomic status on cognition and neuropsychological test performance.
