| Summary: | Normative data for recognition trial in the Italian RAVLT’s doesn’t exist. Our purpose is to define preliminary Italian norms of the Recognition Trial. Our data analysis is based on a sample of healthy italian subject (N = 397; Male = 166; Female = 231) aged between 52 and 86 (mean age = 69,12). The results show a significant effect of level of education, age, and gender on Rey AVLT Recognition performance. These predictors account respectively for 18.2%, 6.7% and 1.6% of the explained variance. Due to the low size of the increment (1.6%) due to the predictor gender, considering the level of significance associated with it (Sig. F Change = 0.002), we decided to give separate norms for males and females. We also included descriptive statistics concerning the Immediate Recall and Delayed Recall trial of the Rey Word test. |
