Brief Summary
The goal of this proposal is to collect normative data from a sample of ethnically diverse Florida elders on a brief, standardized neuropsychological test battery . The norms collected in this multi-cultural dataset will provide appropriate corrections for demographic and sociocultural variables that contribute to performance variance on neuropsychological tests. By accounting for these variables, the normative corrections will improve specificity and eliminate disparities in diagnostic validity and clinical utility of neuropsychological tests when administered to Florida's ethnic minority elders.
