Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to describe the development of the Multi-cultural Neuropsychological Scale (MUNS). METHODS: This is a short scale devised with universal stimuli which are easy to translate into different languages. It consists of 7 subtests evaluating five cognitive domains: attention, memory, executive functioning, constructional praxis and language and was applied to 72 adults of both sexes in an educational range between 1 and 20 years of education. RESULTS: Age correlated with memory subtests (range= -.28 to -.32); and education was correlated with memory (range= .37 to .49), constructional praxis (.44), language (.59) and attention (.25). There were no significant differences between males and females. CONCLUSIONS: The MUNS appears as a short, portable, and user-friendly tool to assess neuropsychological functioning in adults with low and high education. Future studies remain to be conducted in order to demonstrate its cross-cultural validity.
