- To analyze the reliability and demographic effects (age, gender, education) on test performance.
Main Methods:
- Collected normative data from 329 Spanish-speaking individuals.
- Administered a Spanish version of the verbal Selective Reminding Test.
- Analyzed age, gender, and education effects on test scores.
