Respecto de la escolaridad, no se corroboran tas diferencias halladas por Herrera-Guzmén et al.” en el subtest de decision del objeto, Respecto de los resultados obtenidos en la muestra de mayores de 49 afos del estudio NN*, se hallaron diferen- clas en cuanto a {a influencia de la edad sobre el subtest, de siluetas progresivas. Los rendimientos en esta variable sufrieron el efecto del envejecimiento en sujetos de la muestra de mayores y no en la de jévenes. Este hallazgo Podria explicarse por las caracteristicas de la prueba que, ‘aunque explora habilidad visuoperceptiva, es una tarea en la que también se exige rotacion espacial. Algunos autores indican que estas habilidades serian sensibles al proceso de envejecimiento”. En un estudio reciente se han descrito correlaciones de hasta un 70% entre la edad y un test de {imagenes no prototipicas en el que la habilidad para rotar, {imagenes es fundamental para realizar la tarea requerida**, ‘También se encontraron diferencias respecto de la influencia de la escolaridad sobre los rendimientos en el mismo sub- test, probablemente una vez mas por la ausencia del grupo de suetos con escolaridad menor a 8 aos en la muestra de jévenes. Judgment of line orientation Los resultados muestran un discreto efecto de la escolaridad sobre las puntuaciones en el JLO. Este hallazgo concuerda ‘con lo que describen la mayoria de estudios previos de nor- malizacién, que apuntan hacia una influencia positiva de la escolarizacion sobre la ejecucién en esta prueba’, El mayor impacto de la educacion sobre el JLO que sobre los subtest de percepcién espacial de la VOSP estaria en relacién con la mayor exigencia de las tareas del primero fen relacién con el segundo. Estos datos darian soporte a luna mayor sensibilidad del JLO en ta deteccién de deficits visuoespaciales' No se hallé influencia de ta edad sobre los rendimien- tos en el test.

In this table, scores were rounded to an integer. Inthe case of very extreme scores (¢., a person with one year of education and « NSSq of 18, ora person of 20 years of education and a NSS, of 2), the resulting adjustment may be placed beyond the defined scaled score ranges (¢.g.,21 or — 1), In these extreme cases, the final score should be 18 or 2, respectively. AS in all normative studies, the validity of these norms is clearly dependent upon the similarity between the characteristies Of the studied subject and the demographic features of the NEURONORMA normative samples. Therefore, as other similar studies have concluded, it would not be accurate to use this computational formula with younger individuals du to the different ‘impact ofthe demographic variables on the cognitive performance across the life span (Lucaset al.. 2005).

In this field, a meta-analysis concluded that educational level and age influenced in SVF tests ‘more than the country of origin (Ramirez et al., 2005; Ostrosky-Solis etal. 2007). In other words: The SVF test yields similar data from one Spanish-speaking country to another provided that the subjects’ age and education are taken into account (Ramirez et al., 2005), ‘The age effect on the VF tests scores is clearly found in the nine VF tests studied. Our results confirm that the performance of elderly people was significantly lower than younger healthy controls and, therefore, agree with previous studies conclusions about the influence of aging on VF ability (Acevedo et al., 2000; Boone et al.. 2007; Cauthen, 1978; Gladsjo et a., 1999; Ivnik tal, 1996; Kavé, 2005; Knight etal. 2006; Loonstra ef a.. 2001; Lucas et al, 1998; Lucas et al.. 2005). A major age effect in ‘semantic fluency tasks than in lexical ones was not clearly found. Our findings are in line with the reported by others (Kosmidis, Viahou, Panagiotaki, & Kiosseoglow, 2001) but not comparable with those who find the differential effect of age on semantic and lexical tasks (Gladsjo et al, 1999; Kavé, 2008; Tombaugh et al. 1999) 2 Fea Casanova eta.

In contrast, an important educational effect was found in the six LVF tests, and especially in the ability of generation words without a specific letter, With regard to the lower impact of education on the ability to generate fruit and vegetables, and kitchen tools, some reports argue that everyday word retrieval is more related to semantic processes, which is easier than lexical fluency and, there fore, less influenced by cultural level (Tombaugh ef al., 1999; Shores et al., 2006; Lezak. Howieson, & Loring, 2004), Our results support the hypothesis that the more evident education effect in LVF tasks could be related t0 the fact that they are ‘more demanding and more sensitive to executive dysfunction than semantics (Tombaugh et al., 1999: Shores et al.. 2006). In contrast, some authors suggest that the high educational effect could be partly explained by the different characteristics Of the studied populations in which ranges of years of education were certainly different (Kavé. 2005). No significant sex effect on VE tests was found, with the exception of a minor, but significant female advantage in 1wo semantic categories: Fruit and vegetables, and kitchen tools. In those variables, age-and-sex adjustments are provided Controversial data about sex influence on the VF tests have heen published (see Mitrushina et al., 2005, for a review), Peta-Casonona et a. / Archives of Clic Newopeychology 6 ‘able 20, Exclude later E, Education adjustmeat applying the following Formula: NSSs= NSSq ~ (8 x (Edveationyoey ~ 120, where NSS, Bikeaton Goan) o » > 5 =I 2 6 ° 400 1 5 8 2 6 9 3 7 ‘ sou 5 9B 6 oon 7 nou 8 Boas ° 16 10 Mon u so 2 69 8 nm» 4 el Is “Table 21 Excloded leer , Education austment applying the flowing frm: NSS o2sn NSS, Elation (eam o 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 # 9 WN 20 2s 4 4 4s 339 22 56 5 5 S$ 4 4 4 yo 47 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 a4 5 8 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 53 6 9 8 8 so7 749 6 6 7 wo 9 9 5 8 k 8 8 77 sou wo w 9 9 9 8 aos 9 2 non now 0 ww 898 pou om now BoR RoR oR woR RoR OB so mM we is sis ko 7 0 on on nn In fact, our results are globally in agreement with those in which a lack of sex influence has been reported (Cauthen. 1978; Pontén et al, 1996; Tombaugh et al, 1999). The minor female advantage in the generation of fruit and vegetables and kitchen tools found could be comparable with that found by other studies (Acevedo et al.. 2000; Capitant et al.. 1998). ‘Mote research could be done to confirm whether those findings are really related to gender differences in the cognitive proces sing of semantic information or simply represent a bias of the sample characteristics. In our study, socio-cultural features related to the major implication of women in housework could partly explain the better performance achieved by this ‘group in those tasks. ‘There are several limitations in the present study that we would like to comment. First, some limitations are related to the selection of the participants (limited representation of extremely elderly participants and a convenience sample of community volunteers). Second, the statistical analysis procedure carried out in this project made difficult to compare our results to other ‘VE normative studies because they present their data by means of means, standard deviations, and percentile tables for cach test (Benito-Cuadrado et al., 2002; Buriel et al.. 2004; Gonzilez et al, 2005; Kavé, 2005; Kosmidis et al. 2004; Ostrosky-Solis CONFIDENTIAL Neuronorma-Plus.

DK-DFT normative data. Garcia-Escobar, Pefia-Casanova, Sancher-Benavides: NEURONORMA ~ Plus is a complementary cognitve battery which is made up of some specific neuropsycjological tests. All those tests were administered and scoring according to standardization processes of each specific manual, These were assessed by qualified personnel previously trained for assessment, recording and scoring of each test DK-DFT test is composed by three conditions: Filled Dots (Basic Condition), Empty Dots Gilter Condition) and switching condition, Instructions are given orally. In each condition, a sheet ,composed of a total of 35 squares, is provided and a 3 squared practice sheet is previously supplied. Participants were instructed to draw 4 — straight lined novel designs in each square by connecting points during 60 seconds. If time limit is used up, participants were allowed to finish that design which was on progress. Each line had to be connected with the previous line through one dot and they could cross each other. Participants also were told that is not necessary that designs must be closed or named. Examiner gave feedback about their performance during the practise part. In first condition (Filled Dots), squares are composed of 5 black filled dots and participants were told to create different designs by connecting them. In second condition (Empty Dots), squares are now composed of 5 black filled dots and $ empty dots and subjects had to draw as many different designs as they can by connecting only empty dots. Thus, they had to ignore black filled dots (which were necessary on previous condition) in order to create novel designs. Lastly, in third condition (switching) squares were also included 5 black filled dots and 5 empty dots but they were allocated in a different way than second condition. Participants were instructed to make novel designs by switching between connecting black filled and empty dots. The beginner dot could be a black filled or an empty one. Total of correct designs on three conditions were counted with the aim of provide normative data of DK-DFT. Age-adjusted normative data and subsequent regression-based adjustments for education and sex are presented. The sample was divided in two age CONFIDENTIAL Neuronorma-Plus. DK-DFT normative data.

The results observed concerning sex contirm that the differences are minor or nonexistent (Berry ct al.. 1991; Boone et a. 1993). Education has a more important role than age on scores (10%~17% vs, 4%—-10% of shared variances) Time to complete the task increases with age and is more affected by education (10% vs. 17% of shared variance).

In these extreme cases, the final score should be 18 or 2, respectively, Despite limitations (restricted representation of very elderly participants and the convenience sample of community volun- twers), this study reflects the largest normative study to date for neuropsychological performance of Spanish older subjects on the ROCF and the FCSRT. ‘The normative data presented here were obtained from the same study sample as all other NEURONORMA norms.
