“…It was surprising that none of the studies examined a cross-culturally and cross-linguistically applicable test, even though such a test has been developed, that is, the Cross-Linguistic Naming Test (Ardila, 2007). The Cross-Linguistic Naming Test has been studied in healthy non-Western populations from Morocco, Colombia, and Lebanon (Abou-Mrad et al, 2017;Galvez-Lara et al, 2015), as well as in Spanish patients with dementia (Galvez-Lara et al, 2015). These studies preliminarily support its cross-cultural applicability, although more research is needed in diverse populations with dementia.…”

Objective:Neuropsychological tests are important instruments to determine a cognitive profile, giving insight into the etiology of dementia; however, these tests cannot readily be used in culturally diverse, low-educated populations, due to their dependence upon (Western) culture, education, and literacy. In this review we aim to give an overview of studies investigating domain-specific cognitive tests used to assess dementia in non-Western, low-educated populations. The second aim was to examine the quality of these studies and of the adaptations for culturally, linguistically, and educationally diverse populations.Method:A systematic review was performed using six databases, without restrictions on the year or language of publication.Results:Forty-four studies were included, stemming mainly from Brazil, Hong Kong, Korea, and considering Hispanics/Latinos residing in the USA. Most studies focused on Alzheimer’s disease (n = 17) or unspecified dementia (n = 16). Memory (n = 18) was studied most often, using 14 different tests. The traditional Western tests in the domains of attention (n = 8) and construction (n = 15), were unsuitable for low-educated patients. There was little variety in instruments measuring executive functioning (two tests, n = 13), and language (n = 12, of which 10 were naming tests). Many studies did not report a thorough adaptation procedure (n = 39) or blinding procedures (n = 29).Conclusions:Various formats of memory tests seem suitable for low-educated, non-Western populations. Promising tasks in other cognitive domains are the Stick Design Test, Five Digit Test, and verbal fluency test. Further research is needed regarding cross-cultural instruments measuring executive functioning and language in low-educated people.

“…The structure of the AF shows the duality of the perception of the name: there are reactions in the core and periphery expressing the recognition of the idea of the developer and reactions that demonstrate the vagueness of semantics. Stable links between the stimulus (the Russian component Блин, that can also be translated as Damn) and reactions manifest themselves in semantic zones (1,2,3,4,8) related to food and fast food and implemented in the reactions of the three structural parts of the AF. Clearly formed large nucleus (reaction rank above 2 is 44%) with near periphery (rank 2 -19%).…”

The article describes the data of an association experiment on the perception of various structural and semantic groups of composites, i.e. typical representatives of the most productive traditional vs creative methods, graphic representation, techniques and models of composition. Differences were found in the association fields of 'clear' and 'unclear' names concerning the prevailing types of reactions, the composition and number of semantic zones; as well as their correlation (or lack of the latter) with information about the actual company's activities. Assessment reactions or reflections about the linguistic phenomena themselves (structure models and components) were revealed in each of the analyzed association fields. The poles of the assessment of each name range from positive to sharply negative and also emotional. Reflection in the perception of company names is also manifested in the dialogue mode of reactions for unclear names and significant number of reactions to the structure of derived comples company names formed by unusual models. The incomprehensibility and unusualness of new names manifest in reaction-explanations, when respondents give detailed interpretations, and, thus, try to comprehend the unusual combination of components, structure and content representation (borrowings, transliterations, metagraphic tools). For incomprehensible names, the field core is formed by lower-order echolalic reactions or phonetic reactions.

“…The CLNT consists of a set of 40 items that have corresponding words in many languages according to the Swadesh list (Swadesh, 1952), and that are presented in the form of colored photographs. Studies with this instrument show preliminary support of its cross-cultural properties and its usefulness in assessing dementia-related naming impairments in dementia patients from Spain (Galvez-Lara et al, 2015). Ardila warned, however, that his test may have low sensitivity due to ceiling effects, which were observed in control participants across several countries (Abou-Mrad et al, 2017;Galvez-Lara et al, 2015).…”

Objective: Traditional naming tests are unsuitable to assess naming impairment in diverse populations, given the influence of culture, language, and education on naming performance. Our goal was therefore to develop and validate a new test to assess naming impairment in diverse populations: the Naming Assessment in Multicultural Europe (NAME). Method: We carried out a multistage pilot study. First, we generated a list of 149 potentially suitable items – e.g. from published cross-linguistic word lists and other naming tests – and selected those with a homogeneous age of acquisition and word frequency across languages. We selected three to four colored photographs for each of the 73 remaining items; 194 controls selected the most suitable photographs. Thirteen items were removed after a pilot study in 15 diverse healthy controls. The final 60-item test was validated in 39 controls and 137 diverse memory clinic patients with subjective cognitive impairment, neurological/neurodegenerative disease or psychiatric disorders in the Netherlands and Turkey (mean age: 67, SD: 11). Patients were from 15 different countries; the majority completed primary education or less (53%). Results: The NAME showed excellent reliability (Spearman–Brown coefficient: 0.95; Kuder–Richardson coefficient: 0.94) and robust correlations with other language tests (ρ = .35–.73). Patients with AD/mixed dementia obtained lower scores on most (48/60) NAME items, with an area under the curve of 0.88. NAME scores were correlated with age and education, but not with acculturation or sex. Conclusions: The NAME is a promising tool to assess naming impairment in culturally, educationally, and linguistically diverse individuals.
