Abstract

IntroductionThe Stroop Color–Word Interference Test (Stroop) measures cognitive flexibility, selective attention, cognitive inhibition and information processing speed. The Tower of London-Drexel University version test (TOLDX) assesses higher-order problem solving and executive planning abilities. ObjectiveIn this study, as part of the Spanish normative studies project in young adults (NEURONORMA young adults), we present normative data for the Stroop and TOLDX tests. Material and methodsThe sample consisted of 179 participants who are cognitively normal and range in age from 18 to 49 years. Tables are provided to convert raw scores to scaled scores. Scores adjusted for sociodemographic factors were obtained by applying linear regression techniques. ResultsNo effects were found for age and sex in either test. Educational level impacted most of the Stroop test variables and some of the TOLDX scores (total moves score and total initiation time score). ConclusionsThe norms obtained will be extremely useful in the clinical evaluation of young Spanish adults.
