Healthy adults (N = 5402) were administered the Modiﬁed Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Stroop Color-Word. Low scores on measures of executive functioning are common. Clinicians working with Spanish-speaking adults should take into account the higher probability of low scores on these measures to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in an individual.39 p.application/pdfeng© 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Low scoresTests of executive functionsLatin American populationMultivariate base rates of low scores on tests of executive functions in a multi-country Latin American sampleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
