Norms for the Triana Test: A Story Recall Test Based on Emotional Material

By Luque-Tirado A, Montiel-Herrera F, Maestre-Bravo R et al.

BACKGROUND: The "Triana Test" is a novel story recall test based on emotional material with demonstrated accuracy in diagnosing mild cognitive impairment patients. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to obtain normative data for the "Triana Test". METHODS: A normative study was conducted at a university hospital in Spain. Partners of patients were systematically recruited if eligible (age ≥50, no memory complaints, and a total TMA-93 score at or above the 10th percentile). The "Triana Test" was administered and scored. For developing the normative data, a regression-based method was followed. RESULTS: The final sample included 362 participants (median age = 66, range = 50-88; 64.9% females). A model including age and educational level better predicted the total scores. Combinations of these variables resulted in different 10th percentile scores. CONCLUSIONS: Norms for using the "Triana Test" are now available. The provided cutoffs for the 10th percentile will aid in the diagnosis of prodromal Alzheimer's disease.
