TeLPI Normative Study for the Portuguese Population (Alves, Simões, Martins, & Freitas, 2017, submitted)
Abstract
Knowledge of premorbid cognitive capacities is essential for an accurate diagnosis of cognitive decline. As this information rarely exists, the Irregular Word Reading Test (TeLPI) was developed for Portuguese speakers, exhibiting validity and good psychometric features. Since comparison to standard normative data is critical in neuropsychologicalassessment, this study analyzes effects of sociodemographic variables (age, educational attainment, gender, marital status, employment, geographic region, geographic localization and residence area) on the TeLPI performance of 637 cognitively healthy subjects (294 males and 343 females), providing its population-based normative data, and establishing that TeLPI-IQ and educational level account for 73.9% of observed variance.
Using the Rasch analysis to psychometric validation of the Irregular Word Reading Test (TeLPI) (Freitas, Prieto, Simões, Santana & Alves, 2017, submitted)
