Objective:
The main goal of this study was to produce linear multiple regression-based normative data of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised for the Chilean elderly population.
Method:
The study included 229 individuals aged 60-87 years (M = 71.75, SD = 6.64) of both sex (male N = 66, mean age = 72.09 SD = 6.87; female N = 163, mean age = 71.61 SD = 6.57) and educational level (N0-12 years = 68 [29.7%]; N13+ years = 161 [70,3%]).
Results:
Age, education, and sex were significantly associated with HVLT-R performance. These demographic variables accounted for 9.4% of the variance in HVLT-R total recall, 11.2% in HVLT-R delayed recall, 8.9% in HVLT-R delayed recognition discrimination index. This study also provides user-friendly percentile rank norms derived from the results of the regression models.
Conclusions:
The normative data are presented as regression-based procedures to obtain both direct and derived test scores considering age, education, and sex as predictor variables. This study complies with the guidelines proposed by the Chilean Ministry of Health in its National Plan for Dementias and those of the program for Explicit Health Guarantees by promoting the standardization of instruments that contribute to early diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders in the elderly.

01:25Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
