    (IOS Press, 2017) Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos; Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Aguayo Arelis, A.; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Peñalver Guia, Ana Ivis; Vergara Moragues, Esperanza; Rodriguez Lorenzana, A.; Marín Morales, A.; Soto Añari, Marcio Fernando; Lara, Laura; Alcazar Tebar, C.; Galarza del Angel, Javier; Rodriguez Irizarry, W.; Ibáñez Alfonso, Joaquín; García Guerrero, Cristina Elizabeth; Delgado Mejía, I.; Pohlenz Amador, Sarai; Sánchez Sansegundo, Miriam; Rodríguez Agudelo, Yaneth; Nicholls, E.
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (M-WCST) 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 M-WCST as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Number of categories, perseverative errors, and total error 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 the number of categories correct increased and total number of perseverative errors and total number of errors decrease linearly as a function of age. Age 2 had a significant effect in Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, and Spain for numbers of categories; a significant effect for number of perseverative errors in Chile, Cuba, Mexico, and Spain; and a significant effect for number of total errors in Chile, Cuba, Peru, and Spain. Models showed an effect for MLPE in Cuba (total errors), Ecuador (categories and total errors), Mexico (all scores), Paraguay (perseverative errors and total error), and Spain (categories and total errors). Sex affected number of total errors for Ecuador. 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 M-WCST with pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.

    Newly developed Learning and Verbal Memory Test (TAMV-I): Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population
    (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.

    Symbol Digit Modalities Test: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population
    (IOS Press, 2017) Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos; Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Trapp, S.; Jiménez-Pérez, C.; Hernández Carrillo, C.L.; Pohlenz Amador, Sarai; Vergara Moragues, Esperanza; Rodríguez Agudelo, Yaneth; Rodriguez Irizarry, W.; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Galvao Carmona, Alejandro; Galarza del Angel, Javier; Llerena Espezúa, X.; Torales Cabrera, N.; Flor-Caravia, P.; Aguayo Arelis, A.; Saracostti Schwartzman, Mahia; Barranco Casimiro, R.; Albaladejo Blázquez, Natalia
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) 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 SDMT as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. SDMT 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 score increased linearly as a function of age. In addition, age 2 had a significant effect in all countries, except in Honduras and Puerto Rico. Models indicated that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years of education obtained higher score compared to children whose parent(s) had a MLPE ?12 years for Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain. Sex affected SDMT score for Paraguay 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 SDMT with pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.

    Verbal fluency tests: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population
    (IOS Press, 2017) Olabarrieta Landa, L.; Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Lara, Laura; Rute Pérez, Sandra; Rodríguez Lorenzana, Alberto; Galarza del Angel, Javier; Peñalver Guia, Ana Ivis; Ferrer Cascales, R.; Velázquez Cardoso, J.; Campos Varillas, A.; Ramos Usuga, D.; Chino Vilca, B.; Aguilar Uriarte, M.; Martín Lobo, Pilar; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Postigo Alonso, B.; Romero García, I.; Rabago Barajas, B.; Irías Escher, Maria; Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the phonological and semantic verbal fluency tests (VFT) 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 VFT as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Scores for letters F, A, S, and animals and fruit categories 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 on all scores, such that scores increased linearly as a function of age. Age 2 had a significant effect in Chile (animals), Cuba (A letter, fruits), Ecuador (animals, fruits), Honduras (F letter), Mexico (animals, fruits), Peru (fruits), and Spain (S letters, animals, fruits). Models showed an effect for MLPE in Chile (A letters, animals, fruits), Ecuador (S letter, animals, fruits), Guatelama (F, S letter, animals), Honduras (animals), Mexico (F, A, S letters, animals, fruits), Puerto Rico (A, letters, animals), and Spain (all scores). Sex scores were found significant in Chile (animals), Ecuador (A letter, fruits), Mexico (F letter, fruits), Paraguay (F, A, S letters, fruits), Puerto Rico (F letter, animals, fruits), and Spain (F letter, fruits). CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest multi-national Spanish speaking-pediatric normative study in the world, and as such it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate way to interpret the phonological and semantic VFT in pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.
