Publication Open Access Multivariate base rates of low scores on tests of learning and memory among Spanish speaking children(Taylor & Francis, 2020) Benito Sánchez, Itziar; Ertl, Melissa M.; Ferrer Cascales, Rosario; Oltra Cucarella, Javier; Ibáñez Alfonso, Joaquín A.; Saracostti Schwartzman, Mahia; Soto Añari, Marcio; Cadavid Ruiz, Natalia; Rodríguez Lorenzana, Alberto; Rivera, Diego; Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakTo determine the prevalence of low scores on two neuropsychological tests commonly used to evaluate learning and memory in children. 6,030 healthy children from 10 countries in Latin America and Spain were administered Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) and the Test de Aprendizaje y Memoria Verbal–Infantil (TAMV-I). Results showed that low scores are common when multiple neuropsychological outcomes (tests and/or scores) are evaluated in healthy individuals. Clinicians should consider the higher probability of low scores in a given individual when evaluating learning and memory using various sets of scores to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in pediatric populations.Publication Open Access Prevalence of low scores on executive functions tests in a Spanish-speaking pediatric population from 10 Latin American countries and Spain(Taylor & Francis, 2020) Benito Sánchez, Itziar; González, Isabel; Oliveras Rentas, Rafael E.; Ferrer Cascales, Rosario; Romero García, Ivonne; Restrepo Botero, Juan Carlos; Delgado Mejía, Iván Darío; Vergara Moragues, Esperanza; Rivera, Diego; Arango Lasprilla, Juan Carlos; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakPediatric neuropsychologists and researchers commonly interpret a low score as a cognitive weakness. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of low scores for three neuropsychological tests used to evaluate executive function in 4,595 healthy children from Latin-America and Spain. Results showed that low scores are common when multiple neuropsychological outcomes are evaluated in healthy individuals. Clinicians should consider the higher probability of low scores in a given individual when evaluating executive functions using various sets of scores to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in a child.
