abstract = {OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-III (PPVT-III) in Spanish-speaking
pediatric populations.
METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador,
Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the PPVT-III
as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. PPVT-III scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard
deviations of residual values. Age, age2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in
the analyses.
RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models showed main effects for age in all countries, such that scores increased
linearly as a function of age. In addition, age2 had a significant effect in all countries, except Guatemala and Paraguay. Models
showed that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher scores compared to children whose parent(s)
had a MLPE ≤12 years in all countries, except for Cuba, Peru, and Puerto Rico. Sex affected scores for Chile, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate interpretation of the PPVT-III when used in pediatric populations.},
