Estudios normativos españoles en población adulta joven (Proyecto NEURONORMA jóvenes): Normas para el Boston Naming Test y el Token Test

Abstract

Introduction: The Boston Naming Test (BNT) and the Token Test (TT) are frequently used in clinical practice to assess naming and comprehension. Objective: The aim of this paper is to present normative data for the BNT and for the TT as part of the NEURONORMA young adults Project. Material and methods: A total of 179 Spanish healthy subjects from 18 to 49 years old were evaluated. Tables to convert raw scores to scaled scores are provided. Age- and education- adjusted scores are obtained by applying linear regressions. Results: The results show an effect of education in both tests, and a minimal effect of age and sex. Conclusions: The normative data obtained will be useful in the clinical evaluation of young Spanish adults. © 2011 Sociedad Española de Neurología.
