Abstract:On average, the new Spanish language norms increased T-scores by over 9 points and reduced misclassification of impairment by 33%. Misclassification was evident across the education range but was worst among those with the lowest formal education. Demographically adjusted, population-specific norms result in many fewer classification errors and contribute to the armamentarium of available assessment tools for U.S. Spanish speakers.
