Review of the new book by Shuttleworth-Edwards and Truter, “Cross-Cultural Cognitive Test Norms: An Advanced Collation from Africa”
May 5, 2023
This publication is a long-awaited collation of normative data for commonly employed cognitive tests pertaining to eighty-two test versions and sixteen countries in Africa. However, the book is much more than a reference source for normative data.
It provides a review of the clinical and research challenges involved in cross-cultural assessment.
In addition, there is a user-friendly section with step-by-step guidelines on the application and interpretation of the norms, that can be applied in culturally diverse contexts worldwide.
