Normative data for baseline and longitudinal neuropsychological assessments in Singapore

Abstract

Neuropsychological assessments play a vital role in the early detection of cognitive disorders. However, the lack of Singapore-specific norms has resulted in a reliance on international, usually Western, norms that potentially reduce the accuracy and reliability of assessments due to sociocultural differences.1 Moreover, the lack of longitudinal norms limits the reliable monitoring of cognitive changes over time.
