1 The University of British Columbia PRELIMINARY NORMS FOR YEAR OLDS ON THE MEMORY TEST FOR OLDER ADULTS (MTOA:S) Anita M. Hubley University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada Poster presented at the 27th Annual Meeting of the National Academy of Neuropsychology, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, November 14-17, 2007 Correspondence: Dr. Anita M. Hubley, Dept. of ECPS, 2125 Main Mall, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6T 1Z4; ABSTRACT Objective: Normative data for the Memory Test for Older Adults: Short (MTOA:S) Word List and Figure are provided in the manual for 213 adults ages years. The purpose of the present study was to provide preliminary norms for year old adults. Methods: The sample consisted of 35 adults aged years (M = 88.8, s = 3.7) with 4-21 years of education (M = 11.7, s = 4.1). Participants were recruited through local organizations, seniors buildings, local newspaper, and personal contacts in a rural community. Individuals with a history of stroke, head injury, or multiple cognitive risk factors were excluded as were individuals with low MMSE scores given their education or scores > 14 on the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Participants typically were tested in one session. Results: Internal consistency estimates for MTOA:S subtest scores were satisfactory. The study sample showed considerably lower raw score performance on both MTOA:S subtests relative to the next youngest group (75-84 years) in the manual. Following the manual, norms were reported for learning and retention scores on MTOA:S Word List and Figure using cumulative percentiles. Conclusion: The MTOA:S Word List and Figure raw score performance by these year old adults clearly demonstrates the need to extend the norms provided in the manual to include this age group. This study provides preliminary MTOA:S norms for adults ages 85 to 99 years and it is recognized that a larger normative sample will increase confidence in the study findings. INTRODUCTION The Memory Test for Older Adults (MTOA; Hubley & Tombaugh, 2002) may be used in the identification of various types of memory deficits for the purposes of diagnosis, placement, development of intervention strategies, or to establish baseline performance prior to clinical or medical interventions such as surgery or medication. There are two versions: MTOA: Long and MTOA: Short. Both versions consist of a brief set of measures for assessing verbal and visuospatial learning and memory performance in older adults. The MTOA-Short (MTOA:S) was designed to be used when an impairment is either obvious or has already been diagnosed and thus it consists of a short 10-item word list and a relatively simple geometric figure (see Figure 1). Normative data, based on 213 men and women ages years, are available in the MTOA technical manual. The purpose of the present study is to extend the normative data to include men and women ages years. Page 1 of 8

2 METHOD Participants Participants were a subset of a larger sample of community-dwelling older adults that took part in a study of Memory, Age, and Wellbeing. They were recruited through community organizations, seniors buildings, local newspaper, and personal contacts in a rural community. The preliminary normative sample presented here consisted of 35 individuals (7 men, 28 women) ages 85 to 99 years (M = 88.8, s = 3.66). Their education ranged from 4 to 21 years. Individuals with a history of stroke, head injury, or multiple cognitive risk factors (e.g., heart attack, diabetes) were excluded from the normative sample. Individuals with low Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE; Folstein, Folstein, & McHugh, 1975) scores given their educational level or scores > 14 on the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS; Yesavage et al., 1983) were also excluded from this sample. Table 1 shows the mean mental status scores, depression screen scores, education, and vocabulary scores for this group and for the next youngest age group (75-84 years) reported in the MTOA manual (n = 71). Procedure Participants typically completed the MMSE, GDS, WAIS-R Vocabulary (Wechsler, 1981), MTOA:S Word List and Figure (and other measures not relevant to this report) in one session. For the MTOA:S Word List, participants were read a list of 10 words that they were asked to first recall in any order (free recall). For any words that were missed, they were given the category from which the word comes (e.g., It s a flower; cued recall) to assist in recalling the word. There were 3 learning trials, a 10-minute delayed recall trial (also with free and cued recall), and a recognition task in which participants identified the 10 target words from a list of 30 words. A learning score (max. = 30), delayed recall score (max. = 10), and recognition score (max. = 10) were computed. The MTOA:S Figure consisted of 3 learning trials during which participants studied the figure for 15 seconds and then reproduced it from memory, a 10-minute delayed recall trial during which they did not view the figure again, and a copy trial to assess visuoconstructive functioning. A learning score (max. = 54), retention score (max. = 18), and copy score (max. = 18) were computed. Performance on the MTOA:S RESULTS Tables 2 and 3 show the mean (SD) performance on the MTOA:S Word List and Figure of the year old group in this study and the next youngest age group (75-84 years) reported in the manual. MTOA:S Reliability and SEM The primary set of norms for the MTOA:S consists of the learning and retention scores. Thus, Table 4 presents the internal consistency reliability estimates (α) and standard error of measurement (SEM) information for these scores for the year age group. Page 2 of 8

3 MTOA:S Preliminary Norms for Men and Women Ages Years Preliminary normative data for the MTOA:S Word List (see Tables 5 and 6) and Figure (see Tables 7 and 8) are presented using cumulative percentiles. A cumulative percentile shows the percentage of the normative sample whose scores fall at or below a given raw score. Cumulative percentiles are used whenever a distribution is skewed or truncated as is the case for most learning and memory tests. CONCLUSION The MTOA:S Word List and Figure raw score performance by these year old adults clearly demonstrates the need to extend the norms provided in the manual to include this age group. Performance by this group is substantially lower than the next youngest age group (75-84 year olds) reported in the MTOA manual. Internal consistency reliability estimates and standard error of measurement (SEM) information were computed for scores obtained by this sample so that this information can be used to compute 95% confidence intervals for individual scores (i.e., raw score + 2 SEM = 95% confidence interval). Preliminary MTOA:S Word List and Figure norms are presented for adults ages 85 to 99 years. However, it is recognized that a larger normative sample is recommended for clinical purposes. Thus, the final goal is to obtain a normative sample of approximately n = 70 for this age group. REFERENCES Folstein, M. F., Folstein, S. E., & McHugh, P. R. (1975).
