Cut-off scores of a brief neuropsychological battery (NBACE) for Spanish individual adults older than 44 years old.

The neuropsychological battery used in Fundació ACE (NBACE) is a relatively brief, and easy to administer, test battery that was designed to detect cognitive impairment in the adulthood. The NBACE includes measures of cognitive information processing speed, orientation, attention, verbal learning an...
