Abstrakt: Normative data are presented for a neuropsychological test battery (Kaplan-Albert) consisting of subtests from the original Wechsler Adult Intelligence and Memory Scales and the Benton and Hamsher Aphasia Examination. Analyses were based on archival data resulting from administration (1976-1978) of the battery to community residents participating in the Framingham Heart Study, a prospective, longitudinal study of cardiovascular risk factors. Using 3 age groups (55-64, 65-74, and 75-88 years) and 4 education levels (5-8, 9-11, 12, > 12 years), individuals were stratified by age, gender, and education.
