Evidências de validade da estrutura interna, correlações e normas locais da escala Neuropsic-R na população amazonense

Abstract

Neuropsychology is an interdisciplinary field. Therefore, it mainly investigates changes in memory, attention, executive functions, language and visual-practical skills of the individual. This research aimed to examine internal structure, find correlations in the population and create local norms of the NEUROPSIC-R scale in the Amazon population. The scale was applied to 50 individuals over 18 years old who were undergoing psychological follow-up. A descriptive and analytical statistical analysis was performed and an excellent internal consistency (0.904) was found through Cronbach's alpha. There were also correlations (-0.304) between schooling and the total scale score, normal curve (M=43.46; SD=11.69) and norms of the population with the lowest 3rd percentile and the highest 99th. scale has good applicability and reliability in clinical contexts.
