“…In our study, all the depressed patients met the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder during the study. Moreover, delayed free recall is considered to be the memory measurement with the greatest sensitivity for the early detection of AD (Swainson et al, 2001), since it is anatomically related to the medial temporal lobe (Campo, Morales, & Martinez-Castillo, 2003). In our study, the percentage of forgetting, which is derived from the delayed free recall score, appeared not to be influenced by the use of antidepressants.…”

ObjectivesIdentification of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become very important. Episodic memory tasks appear to have predictive power for indicating early AD. Deficits in encoding and storage processes that are characteristic of AD however must be distinguished from non-AD deficits that can also affect memory, including difficulties that may be present in depression.This pilot study was set up to ascertain whether a 10 word-list-learning task (delayed recognition and rate of forgetting) may be useful in making the differentiation between mild AD and depression. MethodA Dutch version of Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning Test was administered to 36 mild AD patients, 41 depressed patients and 47 healthy controls. Data were analyzed cross sectional. ResultsROC analyses showed that for differentiating mild AD and depression, both delayed recognition and percentage of forgetting have sufficient diagnostic accuracy. ConclusionPercentage of forgetting had the highest diagnostic accuracy for differentiating mild AD and depressed patients and may be useful in the early detection of AD.

“…Previous studies have examined average Hispanic-White or English-Spanish differences in neuropsychological tests in community based (La Rue et al, 1999;Rey et al, 1999) and demented samples (Hohl et al, 1999;Loewenstein et al, 1993), and a few studies have compared normal with impaired or demented Spanish speakers (Arnold 628 D. Mungas et al et al, 1998;Campo et al, 2003;Taussig et al, 1996). One study (Mulgrew et al, 1999) examined the relative validity of the Mini-Mental State Examination (Folstein et al, 1975) for detecting cognitive impairment in Hispanics and nonHispanic whites.…”

“…Demented patients were compared not only with healthy high functioning control subjects, as in previous studies (Campo et al, 2003;Taussig et al, 1996), but were compared with CIND and with demographically heterogeneous normals. CIND is by definition intermediate to the poles of normal and dementia, and thus creates a challenge to differenate.…”

This study examined the validity of the Spanish and English Neuropsychological Assessment Scales (SENAS) in comparison with clinical diagnosis of normal cognition versus cognitive impairment, not demented (CIND) versus demented in elderly Hispanics and Whites. Relationships between SENAS scales and diagnosis were essentially the same in Hispanics and Whites. Verbal memory measures were most strongly related, with more than 35% of the variance in these measures accounted for by diagnosis independent of effects of education, age, gender, and language. Diagnosis accounted for more than 10% of the variance (19% on average) in 11 of the 17 measures examined in this study. Logistic regressions showed that verbal memory was important both for distinguishing normal from CIND and CIND from demented. Object naming improved discrimination of CIND from demented beyond that of verbal memory alone. These results provide evidence of equivalent validity across Hispanics and Whites.

“…A Spanish version of the VSRT has been developed and there is some evidence of its reliability and validity (Campo et al, 2000;Campo and Morales, 2004), with significant correlations between form 1 and form 2 that range between 0.65 and 0.72. Campo et al (2003) also found differences between elderly healthy people and patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type using VSRT.…”

Aim: Before a test can be used in the target population, it is necessary to demonstrate that there is measurement equivalence. One way to do this is by studying differential item functioning (DIF). Objective: In this study, we used the Mantel-Haenszel procedure and logistic regression to analyze DIF in the Spanish version of the Verbal Selective Reminding Test between Spaniards, Mexicans, and Hispanics in the United States. Method: Three balanced samples, matched by age, education, and sex, were studied: Spaniards, Mexicans, and Hispanics [616 healthy participants from Spain (n = 211), Mexico (n = 201), and the United States (n = 205)]. A six-trial version of the Spanish version of the Verbal Selective Reminding Test was administered and scored according to standard procedures. Results: Statistical analysis showed some DIF between the samples of Spaniards, Mexicans, and Hispanics. A bootstrap validation of results confirmed that the item pollo showed DIF: the Mexicans and Hispanics outperformed the Spaniards, holding a total score constant. The item oído also showed DIF and was remembered in greater measure by the Spaniards. Conclusion: The Spanish version of the Verbal Selective Reminding Test can be used with Hispanic populations.
