Normative data are derived from:
Tombaugh & Hubley (1997) for individuals 45-54 years of age.
The University of Arizona Aphasia Research Project; 34 healthy adults, mean age = 62.9 (11.4), range: 34–85; mean education = 15.8 years (2.8), range: 12–22 years, male:female 13:21.
A normal cohort from the UCSF Memory and Aging Center; 39 healthy adults, mean age = 68.3 (5.6), range: 53-82; mean education = 17.6 years (1.6), range: 14-20 years, male:female 12:27.
