语言流畅性测试对影响中枢神经系统的各种疾病敏感，通常包括在神经心理学评估中。我们的目的是开发两个口语流利性测试的样本中的母语为西班牙语的生活在美国和墨西哥边境地区的规范性数据。参与者包括254名来自美国-墨西哥边境地区西班牙语神经心理学规范（NP-NUMBRS）项目的成年人（年龄：范围=19-60;教育：范围=0-20，59%为女性）。参与者完成了两项语言流畅性测试（即，字母[PMR]和语义/类别流畅性[动物语言]）作为更大的神经心理学测试组合的一部分。我们研究了人口因素（年龄，教育和性别）对语言流畅性原始分数的线性和非线性影响，并使用控制人口统计的分数多项式方程开发了T分数。我们还计算了“损伤”率（T分数<40），这将通过应用新开发的规范和非西班牙裔英语使用者在可比测试中的可用规范来获得。有积极的小影响的年龄和中等影响的教育口头流利的原始分数。新规范的T分数的归一化分布显示出预期的心理测量学特性。然而，字母和语义流畅性的损害率显着较高时，应用非西班牙裔白色规范，并显着较低时，应用非西班牙裔黑人规范。我们为生活在美国-墨西哥边境沿着的西班牙语使用者提供了两种语言流畅性测试的规范，这些测试与更广泛的神经心理电池共同规范。这些区域规范将改善生活在美国-墨西哥边境地区的西班牙语使用者的口语流利性测试表现的解释。
Verbal fluency tests are sensitive to various disorders affecting the central nervous system and are commonly included in neuropsychological evaluations. We aimed to develop normative data for two verbal fluency tests in a sample of native Spanish-Speakers living in the US-Mexico border region. Participants included 254 adults from the Neuropsychological Norms for the US-Mexico Border Region in Spanish (NP-NUMBRS) Project (Age: range=19–60; Education: range=0–20, 59% female). Participants completed two verbal fluency tests (i.e., letter [PMR] and semantic/category fluency [Animal Naming]) as part of a larger neuropsychological test battery. We examined linear and nonlinear effects of demographic factors (age, education, and gender) on verbal fluency raw scores, and developed T-scores using fractional polynomial equations controlling for demographics. We also calculated the rates of “impairment” (T-scores <40) that would be obtained by applying the newly developed norms and available norms for non-Hispanic English-speakers on comparable tests. There were positive small effects of age and medium effects of education on verbal fluency raw scores. The normalized distribution of T-scores with the new norms showed expected psychometric properties. However, rates of impairment for both letter and semantic fluency were significantly higher when applying non-Hispanic White norms, and significantly lower when applying non-Hispanic Black norms. We provide norms for Spanish speakers living along the US-Mexico border region for two verbal fluency tests that are co-normed with a more extensive neuropsychological battery. These regional norms will improve interpretation of verbal fluency test performance in Spanish speakers living in the US-Mexico borderland.
