Determining Language of Neuropsychological Assessment in a Bilingual Population

Here, we saw subtle (non-statistically significant) differences in subjective rating of language proficiency and objective measurement of language dominance. CLS classified 13.6% and 7.6% of the sample as bilingual or Spanish-speaking, respectively, while LDI classified 6.1% and 13.6% as bilingual or Spanish-speaking. A high percentage of the sample was classified as English-dominant regardless of measure (80.3% and 78.8%), possibly due to demographic factors (e.g., recruitment site, education level, and country of origin). Future analyses will explore these additional demographic influences as well as cognitive testing outcomes in a larger sample across multiple sites in South Texas.

Abstract

Here, we saw subtle (non-statistically significant) differences in subjective rating of language proficiency and objective measurement of language dominance. CLS classified 13.6% and 7.6% of the sample as bilingual or Spanish-speaking, respectively, while LDI classified 6.1% and 13.6% as bilingual or Spanish-speaking. A high percentage of the sample was classified as English-dominant regardless of measure (80.3% and 78.8%), possibly due to demographic factors (e.g., recruitment site, education level, and country of origin). Future analyses will explore these additional demographic influences as well as cognitive testing outcomes in a larger sample across multiple sites in South Texas.
