“…This strategy is often used, but it requires greater care in interpretation. 35 The short scale also does not replace the full scale, but it offers norms from a sample that was evaluated using that form of the test. The IQ as an independent variable was included in the present study following Mitrushina et al recommendation.…”

Normative studies of neuropsychological tests were performed in Brazil in recent years. However, additional data are needed because of the heterogeneity of education of the Brazilian population. Objective: The present study provides normative data of executive function tests for middle-aged Brazilians and investigates the influence of age, sex, education and intelligence quotient (IQ) on performance in these tests. Methods: A total of 120 healthy staff and caregivers from a hospital were randomly selected and submitted to Fluency – animals and FAS, Trail Making Test (TMT) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT). They were divided into six groups of 20: two groups for age (45-54 and 55-64 years) and three groups for years of schooling (4-7; 8-11; 12+ years). Results: Normative data are presented in mean values and percentiles. Education influenced differences in the tests, except the CDT. Post hoc analyses revealed differences between the three educational levels on the TMT and FAS. Age differences emerged on the TMT and fluency letter F. Moderate correlation was found between schooling and results on TMT and Fluency. The correlations for IQ were similar. Conclusion: This study provides normative data for middle-aged Brazilians with four or more years of schooling in frequently used cognitive tests to assess executive functions. The results confirm the strong influence of education, even in the comparison between middle and higher levels.

Network analysis of narrative discourse and attention-deficit hyperactivity symptoms in adults

et al. 2021

Previous research investigating language in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has demonstrated several deficits in many aspects. However, no previous study employed quantitative methodology providing objective measures that could be compared among different studies with diverse samples. To fill this gap, we used network analysis to investigate how ADHD symptomatology impacts narrative discourse, a complex linguistic task considered to be an ecological measure of language. Fifty-eight adults (34 females and 24 males) with a mean age of 26 years old and a mean of 17 years of educational level were administered the Adult Self-Rating Scale for ADHD symptomatology. They also completed the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation Seeking Behavior Scale. Intelligence quotient was calculated. Individuals were asked to tell a story based on a wordless picture book. Speech was recorded and transcribed as an input to SpeechGraphs software. Parameters were total number of words (TNW), number of loops of one node (L1), repeated edges (RE), largest strongly connected component (LSC) and average shortest path (ASP). Verbosity was controlled. Statistical analysis was corrected for multiples comparisons and partial correlations were performed for confounding variables. After controlling for anxiety, depression, IQ, and impulsiveness ADHD symptomatology was positively correlated with L1 and negatively correlated with LSC. TNW was positively correlated with ADHD symptoms. In a subdomain analysis, both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity were negatively correlated with LSC. Only hyperactivity-impulsivity positively correlated with TNW and L1. Results indicated a correlation between ADHD symptoms and lower connectedness in narrative discourse (as indicated by higher L1 and lower LSC), as well as higher total number of words (TNW). Our results suggest that the higher the number of ADHD symptoms, the less connectivity among words, and a higher number of words in narrative discourse.

“…Historicamente, formas curtas da Escala de Inteligência Wechsler são utilizadas para atender à necessidade de um instrumento de avaliação rápida (Dumont & Faro, 1993;Wagner Pawlowski, Yates, Camey, & Trentini, 2010). Principalmente em função do grande tempo envolvido na aplicação, correção e na interpretação dessas Escalas, a necessidade de economia de tempo tem sido a maior justificativa para o desenvolvimento de formas reduzidas (Coutinho & Nascimento, 2010).…”

RESUMO Todo instrumento de avaliação deve ser revisado e adaptado quando utilizado em uma população diferente daquela para a qual foi padronizado. Este artigo apresenta os procedimentos teóricos do processo de adaptação de uma Forma Reduzida do teste WISC-IV para surdos. Objetivando uma avaliação mais rápida, porém representativa do modelo quadrifatorial do teste, foram selecionados oito subtestes: Vocabulário, Semelhanças, Cubos, Raciocínio Matricial, Código, Procurar Símbolos, Dígitos e Sequência de Números e Letras. As instruções e os itens foram traduzidos para Libras e a versão inicial foi apresentada à peritos na cultura surda e testada em oito alunos surdos. A forma experimental resultou em inclusão e exclusão de itens, inserção de ilustrações e itens de exemplos e, ainda, algumas modificações no processo de aplicação dos subtestes, atendendo às especificidades da cultura surda. Após os ajustes necessários, a versão experimental deve ser testada em uma amostra mais representativa para a realização das análises psicométricas. Palavras-chave: WISC-IV, surdos, inteligência, adaptação transcultural, forma reduzida. ABSTRACT-WISC-IV Reduced Form Proposal for Intellectual Assessment of the Deaf Each assessment instrument should be reviewed and adapted when used with a population other than the one for which it was standardized. This article presents the theoretical procedures of the adaptation process for a Reduced Form of the WISC-IV test for deaf people. Aiming for a faster, but representative, evaluation of the quadripartite model of the test, eight subtests were selected: Vocabulary, Similarities, Cubes, Matrix Reasoning, Coding, Symbol Search, Digit Span, and Letter-Number Sequencing. Instructions and items were translated into sign language and the initial version was presented to experts in deaf culture and tested on eight deaf students. The experimental form resulted in inclusion and exclusion of items, insertion of illustrations and sample items, as well as some modifications in the process of applying the subtests, taking into account the specificities of the deaf culture. After the necessary adjustments, the experimental version should be tested in a more representative sample for performing the psychometric analysis.
