Updated and Extended Flemish Normative Data of Commonly Used Neuropsychological Tests

Authors:

Abstract

We present the results of healthy Flemish adults on commonly used neuropsychological tests: Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT, form A and form B), Coetsier Story Recall Test (CSRT), Rey Visual Design Learning Test (YDLT), Rey and Taylor Complex Figure Test (CFT), Benton Visual Retention Test (BVRT, form F and G), Bourdon-Wiersma dot cancellation Test (BW), Trail Making Test (TMT), Stroop Colour Word Test (SCWT), and the Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT). Regression analyses reveal a significant effect of age and educational level on almost each test variable. Gender accounted for a proportion of the variance in the copy score of the Rey CFT and in the AVLT (form A). The alternative versions of the Rey AVLT, the Rey and Taylor CFT and the BVRT (form F and G) differ significantly. Normative data, stratified for age, educational level and gender when necessary, are included in an appendix.
