    (IOS Press, 2017) Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Olabarrieta Landa, L.; Rabago Barajas, B.; Irías Escher, Maria; Saracostti Schwartzman, Mahia; Ferrer Cascales, R.; Martín Lobo, Pilar; Calderón, J.; Aguilar Uriarte, M.; Peñalver Guia, Ana Ivis; Camlla Ynga, R.; García Guerrero, Cristina Elizabeth; Fernandez Agis, Inmaculada; García Gómez Pastrana, A.; Ibáñez Alfonso, Joaquín; Gómez, H.; Galarza del Angel, Javier; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Learning and Verbal Memory Test (TAMV-I) in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the TAMV-I as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Free recall, memory delay and recognition scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age 2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models indicated main effects for age on all scores, such that scores increased linearly as a function of age. Age 2 had a significant effect in all countries except Cuba, and Puerto Rico for free recall score; a significant effect for memory delay score in all countries except Cuba and Puerto Rico; and a significant effect for recognition score in in all countries except Guatemala, Honduras, and Puerto Rico. Models showed an effect for MLPE in Chile (free recall), Honduras (free recall), Mexico (free recall), Puerto Rico (free recall, memory delay, and recognition), and Spain (free recall and memory delay). Sex affected free recall score for Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Spain, memory delay score for all countries except Chile, Paraguay, and Puerto Rico, and recognition score for Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain, with girls scoring higher than boys. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate way to interpret the TAMV-I with pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.

    Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-III: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population
    (IOS Press, 2017) Olabarrieta Landa, L.; Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Ibáñez Alfonso, Joaquin; Albaladejo Blázquez, Natalia; Martín Lobo, Pilar; Delgado Mejía, I.; Lara, Laura; Rabago Barajas, B.; Rodriguez Salgado, A.; Paredes Quispe, L.; Romero García, I.; Velázquez Cardoso, J.; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Fernandez Agis, Inmaculada; Padilla López, Alfredo; Hernández Agurcia, G.; Marín Morales, A.; Corral San José, A.; Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-III (PPVT-III) in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the PPVT-III as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. PPVT-III scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age 2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models showed main effects for age in all countries, such that scores increased linearly as a function of age. In addition, age 2 had a significant effect in all countries, except Guatemala and Paraguay. Models showed that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher scores compared to children whose parent(s) had a MLPE ?12 years in all countries, except for Cuba, Peru, and Puerto Rico. Sex affected scores for Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate interpretation of the PPVT-III when used in pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.
