    (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.

    Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure - Copy and immediate recall (3 minutes): Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric populations
    (IOS Press, 2017) Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos; Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Ertl, Mellisa; Muñoz Mancilla, J.; García Guerrero, Cristina Elizabeth; Rodriguez Irizarry, W.; Aguayo Arelis, A.; Rodríguez Agudelo, Yaneth; Barrios Nevado, M.D.; Vélez Coto, María; Yacelga Ponce, Tarquino; Sánchez Junco, Alina Rigabert; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Pohlenz Amador, Sarai; Vergara Moragues, Esperanza; Soto Añari, Marcio Fernando; Peñalver Guia, Ana Ivis; Saracostti Schwartzman, Mahia; Ferrer Cascales, R.
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) 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 ROCF as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. The ROCF copy and immediate recall (3 minutes) 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 effect for age on copy and immediate recall scores, such that scores increased linearly as a function of age. Age 2 affected ROCF copy score for all countries, except Puerto Rico; and ROCF immediate recall scores for all countries, except Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, and Puerto Rico. Models indicated that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher scores compared to children whose parent(s) had a MLPE?12 years for Chile, Puerto Rico, and Spain in the ROCF copy, and Paraguay and Spain for the ROCF immediate recall. Sex affected ROCF copy and immediate recall score for Chile and Puerto Rico 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 approach to interpret the ROCF Test in pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.

    Shortened Version of the Token Test: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population
    (IOS Press, 2017) Olabarrieta Landa, L.; Aguilar Rivera, Daniel; Rodríguez Lorenzana, Alberto; Pohlenz Amador, Sarai; García Guerrero, Cristina Elizabeth; Padilla López, Alfredo; Sánchez Sansegundo, Miriam; Velázquez Cardoso, J.; Diaz Marante, Juan Pablo; Caparros Gonzalez, Rafael; Romero García, I.; Valencia Vásquez, J.; Garcia de la Cadena, Claudia; Muñoz Mancilla, J.; Rabago Barajas, B.; Barranco Casimiro, R.; Galvao Carmona, Alejandro; Martín Lobo, Pilar; Saracostti Schwartzman, Mahia; Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos
    OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Shortened Version of the Token Test 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 Shortened Version of the Token Test as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Shortened Version of the Token Test total 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 Guatemala and Puerto Rico. Models showed that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher score compared to children whose parents had a MLPE ?12 years in Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Spain. The child's sex did not have an effect in the Shortened Version of the Token Test total score for any of the countries. 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 Shortened Version of the Token Test when used in 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.
