الوصف: IntroductionExecutive functioning and processing speed are crucial elements of neuropsychological assessment. To meet the needs of the Hispanic/Latino population, we aimed to provide normative data for the Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS) test.MethodsThe target population for the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging included six heritage backgrounds (n = 6177). Average age was 63.4 ± 8.3 years, 54.5% were female, and mean education was 11.0 ± 4.7 years. Participants were administered the DSS as part of a larger battery. Heritage-adjusted DSS scores, and percentile cut-points were created using survey-adjusted regression and quantile regression models.ResultsAge, education, sex, heritage, and language preference were associated with DSS scores.DiscussionSignificant correlates of DSS performance should be considered when evaluating cognitive performance. Representative DSS norms for Hispanics/Latinos will advance assessment and accuracy of neurocognitive disorder diagnosis in clinical practice. To facilitate interpretation, we provide norms to reduce test biases and developed an online dashboard.HighlightsNormative data for the Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS) for diverse Hispanic/Latino adults: Results from the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (SOL-INCA) This study is the first to develop norms for the DSS test across four regions of the United States.Factors such as age, education, sex, and Hispanic/Latino heritage and language preference are associated with differences in executive functioning and information processing speed.We created norms and an online dashboard (https://solincalab.shinyapps.io/dsst_shinyTest/) providing an easily accessible tool to evaluate processing speed and executive functioning in Hispanic/Latino adults.

الوصف: Abstract Background In sports sciences, normative data serve as standards for specific physical performance attributes, enhancing talent identification within a specific population. The aim of this study was to provide standard data for Agility-15 m, Ball-15 m tests, and skill index, considering maturation level, specifically age at peak height velocity (PHV). The study also investigated the relationship between relative performances in these tests and anthropometrics, jumping (squat jump [SJ], countermovement jump [CMJ]), and sprinting abilities (S-5 m, S-10 m, S-20 m, S-30 m) in young soccer players. Methods The study involved 647 soccer players aged 11–18 years, categorized into three groups: pre-PHV, circum-PHV, and post-PHV. Statistical analysis was conducted using analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc testing to detect variations among maturation groups, and Pearson’s correlation test to examine the relationship between factors. Results Agility-15 m and ball-15 m performances among maturity groups showed significant differences (p

Phonological process (PPs) are considered as developmental errors. PPs vary from one language to another. However, longitudinal developmental data in the French-speaking area of PPs are scarce. In this poster, we aimed to determine the average percentage of occurrences (POC) of the different PPs in French, from longitudinal data. 29 French-speaking typically developing children were followed longitudinally on their phonological productions from 3 to 5 years old. We have collected speech samples through a picture-naming test. The average POC of PPs was calculated following the methodology of similar studies. The changes over time of PPs' frequency were measured using Friedman ANOVAs for non-parametric repeated measures.Average POC will make it easier for French-speaking SLP to categorize a patient's PPs occurrence and will improve their qualitative phonological assessment.

الوصف: IntroductionOriginally published in the United States of America in 1991, the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) has been translated and adapted to a growing number of countries, but Portugal had yet to study its adequacy to the Portuguese population.MethodsThe current study aimed to investigate the Portuguese normative data, the predictive effect of sociodemographic variables on the PAI scores, and the reliability of the Portuguese version of the PAI. Additionally, results were compared with other international versions of the PAI. The sample was comprised of 900 participants (age: M = 43.13, SD = 14.28, range = 18–75), recruited from various regions of Portugal.ResultsFindings showed that the Portuguese sample scored higher than the U.S. and other international versions of the PAI in most scales. Sociodemographic variables (e.g., gender, age, and educational level) were significant predictors on PAI scores. The internal consistency of the Portuguese sample revealed lower values on the validity scales, but adequate on the clinical, treatment, and interpersonal scales. Overall, the Portuguese PAI revealed adequate psychometric properties, with normative results often superior to other international versions of the inventory.DiscussionIt is a crucial step into the Portuguese adaptation and validation of this instrument, a measure with considerable potential in clinical, forensic, and research contexts. This adaptation may lead to the growth and development of the psychological assessment field in Portugal, and the opportunity to develop future cross-cultural studies with other international versions of the PAI.

الوصف: Background: There is a need for the development of accurate, accessible and efficient screening instruments, focused on early-stage detection of neurocognitive disorders. The Geras Solutions cognitive test (GSCT) has showed potential as a digital screening tool for cognitive impairment but normative data are needed.Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain normative data for the GSCT in cognitively healthy patients, investigate the effects of gender and education on test scores as well as examine test-retest reliability.Methods: The population in this study consisted of 144 cognitively healthy subjects (MMSE>26) all at the age of 70 who were earlier included in the Healthy Aging Initiative Study conducted in Umea, Sweden. All patients conducted the GSCT and a subset of patients (n=32) completed the test twice in order to establish test-retest reliability.Results: The mean GSCT score was 46.0 (+/- 4.5) points. High level of education (>12 years) was associated with a high GSCT score (p = 0.02) while gender was not associated with GSCT outcomes (p = 0.5). GSCT displayed a high correlation between test and retest (r(30) = 0.8, p <0.01).Conclusion: This study provides valuable information regarding normative test-scores on the GSCT for cognitively healthy individuals and indicates education level as the most important predictor of test outcome. Additionally, the GSCT appears to display a good test-retest reliability further strengthening the validity of the test.

الوصف: Background: The present study aims to analyze the prevalence of the problematic Internet use (PIU) among Spanish adolescents using the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) and provide normative data. Method: The final sample consisted of a total of 1,977 (M age = 15.70, SD = 1.26, 53.7% female). Results: PIU were relatively common with many items seeing endorsement for between 6.5% and 33.1%. There were statistically significant differences both by gender. Females scored significantly more highly on four CIUS dimensions as well as total scores. With regards to age, we found statistically significant differences in preoccupation. No differences were found for the total score by age. Conclusions: Early detection strategies should be implemented in order to prevent PIU during adolescence, a critical developmental stage.

الوصف: Cross-sectional size of a long bone shaft influences its mechanical properties. We recently used high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) to create reference data for size measures of the radial and tibial diaphyses. However, data did not take into account the impact of bone length. Human bone exhibits relatively isometric allometry whereby cross-sectional area increases proportionally with bone length. The consequence is that taller than average individuals will generally have larger z-scores for bone size outcomes when length is not considered. The goal of the current work was to develop a means of determining whether an individual's cross-sectional bone size is suitable for their bone length. HRpQCT scans performed at 30 % of bone length proximal from the distal end of the radius and tibia were acquired from 1034 White females (age = 18.0 to 85.3 y) and 392 White males (age = 18.4 to 83.6 y). Positive relationships were confirmed between bone length and cross-sectional areas and estimated mechanical properties. Scaling factors were calculated and used to scale HRpQCT outcomes to bone length. Centile curves were generated for both raw and bone length scaled HRpQCT data using the LMS approach. Excel-based calculators are provided to facilitate calculation of z-scores for both raw and bone length scaled HRpQCT outcomes. The raw z-scores indicate the magnitude that an individual's HRpQCT outcomes differ relative to expected sex- and age-specific values, with the scaled z-scores also considering bone length. The latter enables it to be determined whether an individual or population of interest has normal sized bones for their length, which may have implications for injury risk. In addition to providing a means of expressing HRpQCT bone size outcomes relative to bone length, the current study also provides centile curves for outcomes previously without reference data, including tissue mineral density and moments of inertia.
