ABSTRACT

Cross-cultural issues in testing have become increasingly important for clinical neuropsychology research as evidenced by the growing number of articles examining this topic (for a review see Fujii, 2007). Professional organizations such as the American Academy of Clinical Neuro-psychology (2007) and American Psychological Association (2003) recognize that competent and ethical neuropsychological assessments of ethnic minorities must consider factors such as acculturation, English proficiency, education, socioeconomic status, as well as other demographic variables. Furthermore, test equivalency, norms, and predictive validity of neuropsychological tests should not be assumed across ethnic groups.
