“…Its notable psychometric support has contributed to its wide usage. The ROCF has been used worldwide in countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, and the United States (e.g., Ardila & Rosselli, 1994;Fernando et al, 2003;Galindo & Cortes, 2003;Rivera et al, 2015a;Strauss et al, 2006;Vogel et al, 2012).…”

“…Although these measures were originally normed with English-speaking samples, normative data now exist for Spanish speaking adults for both the ROCF and HVLT-R Cherner et al, 2007;Rivera et al, 2015aRivera et al, , 2015b. Standardized normative data for diverse samples are necessary to validly assess memory outside of the United States and reduce the risk for misinterpretation of scores.…”

Objective:To determine the prevalence of low scores for two neuropsychological tests with five total scores that evaluate learning and memory functions.Method:N = 5402 healthy adults from 11 countries in Latin America and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico were administered the Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT-R). Two-thirds of the participants were women, and the average age was 53.5 ± 20.0 years. Z-scores were calculated for ROCF Copy and Memory scores and HVLT-R Total Recall, Delayed Recall, and Recognition scores, adjusting for age, age2, sex, education, and interaction variables if significant for the given country. Each Z-score was converted to a percentile for each of the five subtest scores. Each participant was categorized based on his/her number of low scoring tests in specific percentile cutoff groups (25th, 16th, 10th, 5th, and 2nd).Results:Between 57.3% (El Salvador) and 64.6% (Bolivia) of the sample scored below the 25th percentile on at least one of the five scores. Between 27.1% (El Salvador) and 33.9% (Puerto Rico) scored below the 10th percentile on at least one of the five subtests. Between 5.9% (Chile, El Salvador, Peru) and 10.3% (Argentina) scored below the 2nd percentile on at least one of the five scores.Conclusions:Results are consistent with other studies that found that low scores are common when multiple neuropsychological outcomes are evaluated in healthy individuals. Clinicians should consider the higher probability of low scores when evaluating learning and memory using various sets of scores to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits.

“…Despite the aforementioned advancements, much remains to be done, as the vast majority of tests used with children in clinical practice do not have norms for the Latin America population (Arango-Lasprilla & Olabarrieta-Landa et al, 2015aRivera et al, 2015aRivera et al, , 2015bRivera et al, , 2015cRivera et al, , 2015d. Therefore, the implementation of multicenter studies for the validation and standardization of instruments used with children are necessary.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze characteristics of individuals working in the profession of neuropsychology in Latin America in order to understand their background, professional training, current work situation, assessment and diagnostic procedures used, rehabilitation techniques employed, population targeted, teaching responsibilities, and research activities. A total of 808 professionals working in neuropsychology from 17 countries in Latin America completed an online survey between July 2013 and January 2014. The majority of participants were female and the mean age was 36.76 years (range 21-74 years). The majority of professionals working in neuropsychology in Latin America have a background in psychology, with some additional specialized training and supervised clinical practice. Over half work in private practice, universities, or private clinics and are quite satisfied with their work. Those who identify themselves as clinicians primarily work with individuals with learning problems, ADHD, mental retardation, TBI, dementia, and stroke. The majority respondents cite the top barrier in the use of neuropsychological instruments to be the lack of normative data for their countries. The top perceived barriers to the field include: lack of academic training programs, lack of clinical training opportunities, lack of willingness to collaborate between professionals, and lack of access to neuropsychological instruments. There is a need in Latin America to increase regulation, improve graduate curriculums, enhance existing clinical training, develop professional certification programs, validate existing neuropsychological tests, and create new, culturally-relevant instruments.

“…Recognizing the need for country-specific norms, they designed a multi-country study of healthy adult populations and created norms for the most commonly used neuropsychological tests based on state-of-the-art methods. The resulting normative data for Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico was published in the Special Issue Olabarrieta-Landa et al, 2015b;Rivera et al, 2015b;Rivera et al, 2015c;Rivera et al, 2015d) & Rivera, 2015). Next the group, including representation from Spain, focused their data collection efforts on the 10 most commonly used tests for children and adolescents.…”
