Klinikai neuropszichológiai tesztek magyarországi normatív adatai I.: Végrehajtó funkciókat és nonverbális fluenciát mérő neurokognitív vizsgálóeljárások

Introduction: Executive functions are crucial cognitive processes which enable us to manage our daily life, to be able to sustain goal-oriented behavior, to adapt to environmental changes and to regulate and coordinate the behavior during task situations. There are several means of evaluating executive functioning, but normative data for the Hun-garian population were unavailable for detailed assessment.Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of gender, age, and education on the performance of three neurocognitive tests measuring executive functions, and to provide normative data in the Hungarian population.Method: Victoria Stroop Test, Five-Point Test and Trail Making Test were administered to 316 individuals (175 fe-male, 141 male). The sample was representative for Hungarian adults regarding age, gender and education.Results: Performance scores decreased with increasing age, while scores increased by higher educational level. Perfor-mance was not influenced by gender. Significant correlations were observed between the measures.Conclusion: The provision of normative data should enhance the potential of the applied measures for clinical and research applications. These data provide a normative comparison for the assessment of executive functions and cog-nitive decline.
