Abstract

Objective: In a previous article the performance of two samples from Argentina and the USA on the Multicultural Neuropsychological Scale (MUNS) was compared. Although the results indicated no significant differences between them, the samples were rather small. In this article two larger samples from each country including two different locations in the USA were included. Moreover, additional psychometric cross-cultural analyses are presented.

Methods: Age and education-matched Argentinian (n = 80) and American (n = 50) samples of healthy adults were administered the MUNS. Argentinians were administered the Spanish version of the MUNS while North Americans were administered the English version.

Results: Results showed that t-tests revealed no significant differences between the samples across all subtests scores. Most correlations between demographic variables and subtest scores were non-significant across samples, with the exception of two weak correlations in the Argentinian sample. For both groups, scores were not significantly different between the male and female participants.

Conclusions: The results from this study confirm previous findings obtained with smaller samples suggesting some evidence of scalar equivalence across both versions of the MUNS.

期刊介绍: pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees.
