“…It may be concluded, therefore, that the evidence of a high degree of DIF when comparing populations of Spaniards, Mexicans, and Hispanic Americans is inconclusive and that any possible DIF has a compensatory effect. The normative data obtained for the population of Spaniards (Morales et al, 2010) can be considered for use on these populations, enabling evaluations of verbal memory to be carried out with a minimum assurance of being able to objectively identify whether or not there is a possible deficit in these populations.…”

“…The data of participants for the reference sample were taken from 211 Spaniards, selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling of study participants in a six-trial Spanish VSRT test suite to obtain normative data [see Morales et al (2010) for a complete description of the sample]. Most participants were recruited in the south of Spain and these were matched by age, education, and sex with samples of the focal populations.…”

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.

Theoretical models of active ageing and cognitive reserve emphasize the importance of leading an active life to delay age-related cognitive deterioration and maintain good levels of well-being and personal satisfaction in the elderly. The objective of this research was to construct a scale to measure cognitively stimulating activities (CSA) in the Spanish language. The sample consisted of a total of 453 older persons. The scale was constructed from a list of 28 items and validated using structural equation models. The scale obtained showed a negative correlation with age and a positive correlation with education and physical activity. Using hierarchical regression models, CSAs were found to have a significant effect on attention when controlling for the effect of age and education. Likewise, a significant interaction between age and CSA was found on the measure of episodic memory. The validated CSA scale will enable the relationships between changes in cognitive functions and stimulating activities to be studied.

“…We conducted a study to evaluate the perception of health workers, including Spanish neuropsychologists, on the sexual activity of their patients with traumatic brain injuries. We discovered that, although most of them (96%) recognized sexuality was fundamental, only 36% approached the subject and 29% would only discuss it if the patient did first (12,13). Reasons for not approaching the subject included patients not asking about it or not reporting problems and lack of professional training (13).…”

The aim of this chapter is to present relevant cultural aspects that a neuropsychologist should take into account in order to provide adequate service to Spanish patients and their families. In the first section, there is an introduction to the Spanish culture, which is linked to small case studies that reflect its relevance from a neuropsychological point of view. Spain is culturally complex, with different regions that maintain their own traditions and languages. For Spaniards, social relationships and family are so important that patients may prioritize some rehabilitation goals against others in order to recover their social functioning. Likewise, the complex relationship between languages and education is presented, as well as the educational and socioeconomic level of the country. In the second section, the importance of social relationships and the role of the family in the neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation, as well as the context in which the patient lives, are explored closely through RJ case. Finally, the chapter ends with a summary of the most relevant ideas to consider when assessing a Spanish patient. Section I: Background Information Terminology and PerspectivePeople from Spain may refer to themselves as Spaniards or identify with their region (e.g., Galician, Basque). In the United States, Latinx or Hispanic terms have been used. This is confusing for Spaniards because those terms refer to people who speak Spanish, independent of country of origin. Hispanic may refer to a person from Spain or Latin America. The term Latinx may be used either for a Spanish-speaking person, someone who lives in Latin America, or for an individual whose language is derived from Latin and who lives in Mediterranean countries.Regarding us, Laiene is a Basque psychologist who works at the Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA). Her areas of interest include neuropsychology, brain injury, and bilingualism. Maria Jesus is a Murcian psychologist with a doctoral degree in Clinical Medicine, who is the Director at the Clínica Uner. Diego is a Colombian psychologist who obtained his doctoral degree in psychology in Spain. He is currently working at the UPNA, and his interest lies in methodology and its application to neuropsychology. Isabel, who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, is a Colombian psychologist who specializes in pediatric neuropsychology. Juan Carlos is a Colombian neuropsychologist who has been living and working as a researcher in Spain since 2002. GeographySpain is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, surrounded by the Cantabrian and Mediterranean seas and the Atlantic Ocean. Peninsular Spain shares borders with France and Andorra to the north and with Portugal to the west. Its territory consists of a large part of the Iberian Peninsula, the Canary and Balearic Islands, and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The country, with Madrid as its capital city, is divided into 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities, each with unique cultural cha...
