US Consortium of Aging, Dementia & Latino Studies (CADLAS). Evaluating Psychometric Properties of Spanish Neuropsychological Tests for Older Latinos. Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy, Boston, MA, 2026.
Evaluating Psychometric Properties of Spanish Neuropsychological Tests for Older Latinos examines the psychometric properties and normative methodologies of assessments developed in the U.S., Latin America, and Spain for adults aged 55 and older, highlighting their respective strengths and limitations.
This book is designed for clinicians, neuropsychologists, neurologists, geriatricians, researchers, students, and other healthcare professionals interested in culturally informed neuropsychological assessment. Families, caregivers, and community advocates may also find value in understanding why culturally and linguistically appropriate testing matters in diagnosis and care.
This volume was developed by the CADLAS Cognition and Assessment Special Interest Group (SIG) to fill critical gaps in the validation of cognitive and clinical assessment tools for Spanish-speaking older adults and to provide a framework for more culturally and linguistically appropriate evaluation of cognitive functioning in older Latinos.
