Neuropsychology of language: Normative data for Verbal Repetition, Comprehension, Verbal Fluency & BNT indexes

This dataset is a collaborative work for the subject "Neuropsychology of Language" taught at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain (2023/2024 academic year). The aim is to determine the influence of age, years of education, and gender on four classic language assessment tasks: verbal repetition (subtest from the Test Barcelona Revisado; TBR), comprehension (subtest from the TBR), verbal fluency (COWAT and Isaacs Set-Test) and Boston Naming Test. Also, from the sample data, normative data in young and middle-aged adults can be obtained. For the application of the tests, the conventional instructions were followed, which can be consulted, for example, in Strauss et al. (2006).
In addition to the sociodemographic variables above-mentioned, the following cognitive parameters are also included in the dataset:
-Score for each item from the verbal repetition task
-Total score for the verbal repetition task (range 0-60; a higher score means better performance)
-Score for each item from the comprehension task
-Total score for the comprehension task (range 0-16; a higher score means better performance)
-Number of items correctly evoked in period 1-15" for each phonetic and semantic category
-Number of items correctly evoked in the period 16-30" for each phonetic and semantic category
-Number of items correctly evoked in the period 31-45" for each phonetic and semantic category
-Number of items correctly evoked in the period 45-60" for each phonetic and semantic category
-Number of items correctly evoked in the period 45-60" for each phonetic and semantic category
-Total number of items correctly evoked 1-60" (sum of the above) for each phonetic and semantic category.
-Total number of errors for each phonetic and semantic category
-Total number of perseverations for each phonetic and semantic category
-Total number of spontaneous hits in the BNT
-Total number of hits after semantic clue in the BNT
-Total number of hits after phonological clue in the BNT
-Total number of hits after semantic clue in the BNT (sum of spontaneous hits + hits after semantic clue)

本数据集是为西班牙马德里自治大学2023/2024学年开设的《语言神经心理学》课程开展的协作研究项目。本研究旨在探究年龄、受教育年限与性别对四项经典语言评估任务的影响，四项任务分别为：言语复述任务（取自《巴塞罗那修订测验》（Test Barcelona Revisado，TBR）分测验）、言语理解任务（取自TBR分测验）、言语流畅性任务（包含COWAT与Isaacs Set-Test）以及波士顿命名测验（Boston Naming Test）。同时可基于本次采集的样本数据，获取青年与中年成人群体的测验常模数据。本次测验的实施严格遵循标准指导流程，相关流程可参考Strauss等人（2006）的研究文献。
除上述社会人口学变量外，本数据集还涵盖以下认知参数：
- 言语复述任务各单项得分
- 言语复述任务总分（分值区间为0~60，得分越高代表表现越优异）
- 言语理解任务各单项得分
- 言语理解任务总分（分值区间为0~16，得分越高代表表现越优异）
- 语音与语义范畴下，1~15秒时段内正确引出的项目数量
- 语音与语义范畴下，16~30秒时段内正确引出的项目数量
- 语音与语义范畴下，31~45秒时段内正确引出的项目数量
- 语音与语义范畴下，45~60秒时段内正确引出的项目数量
- 语音与语义范畴下，45~60秒时段内正确引出的项目数量
- 语音与语义范畴下，1~60秒时段内正确引出的项目总数量（为上述各时段项目数之和）
- 语音与语义范畴下的错误总数量
- 语音与语义范畴下的持续性错误总次数
- 波士顿命名测验中自发性正确引出的总数量
- 波士顿命名测验中经语义线索提示后正确引出的总数量
- 波士顿命名测验中经语音线索提示后正确引出的总数量
- 波士顿命名测验中经语义线索提示后的总正确引出数量（为自发性正确引出数量与经语义线索提示后的正确引出数量之和）
