OBJECTIVEDescriptive labels to communicate performance are integral in neuropsychological reports. Although the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) reached consensus on standardizing uniform labels of performance, consumer understanding of these labels is unclear. This pilot prospective cohort study evaluated patient, family member, and medical provider understanding of neuropsychological performance labels.METHODPatients (n = 62), family members (n = 31), and referral sources (n = 34) completed a 13-question survey evaluating the uniform label system and an alternative, patient-centered language system (PCL). Questions assessed label knowledge and associated percentiles and relative relationships between labels.RESULTSPatients had significantly higher accuracy on knowledge questions using PCL labels (54.8%) versus AACN labels (32.2%) as were families (51.6% versus 35.5%). When ranking labels, providers and patients were more accurate when using PCL labels compared to AACN labels, although no significant difference was seen in the family group. Generally, participants were more accurate in identifying highest/lowest scores using AACN labels and more accurate in identifying relatively higher and lower scores using PCL terminology.CONCLUSIONSResults illustrate that current and alternative score labels may not be understandable for audiences who read and base decisions on neuropsychological reports. The findings highlight the need for further consideration of patient-centered language to improve understanding of neuropsychological score labels.

OBJECTIVEIdentify culturally insensitive tests and assessment practices based on a survey of neuropsychologists and neuropsychology trainees.METHODA survey was distributed to neuropsychology and psychology listservs asking for respondents to report tests, stimuli, and/or assessment practices perceived as being culturally insensitive and for which populations. A total of 100 participants provided responses, which were coded by three raters to identify commonly reported themes. Frequencies of themes (i.e. different issues related to culturally insensitive tests and practices) and how often specific tests were reported as culturally insensitive were determined.RESULTSLack of exposure due to items being biased toward U.S./Westernized culture or being unfamiliar based on age cohort, regional differences, and language background was the most commonly reported theme (20.1%), followed by tests and stimuli that were considered to be triggering or culturally offensive (17.4%). Among responses that mentioned specific tests, the Boston Naming Test was most frequently reported (43.2%), followed by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Verbal subtests (20.3%), and Story B from the Wechsler Memory Scale-IV Logical Memory subtest (10.1%).CONCLUSIONSBeyond the Boston Naming Test noose item, which was recently replaced, survey respondents identified several other culturally insensitive tests and assessment practices that may negatively impact an examinee's performance and their assessment experience. These results emphasize the need for more research to inform test revisions, updated normative data, and increased consideration for cultural differences to provide more equitable neuropsychological assessment services.
