This study was supported by Mayo’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (NIA P50 AG16574). The authors wish to sincerely thank the study participants, the staff of the Mary Singleton Senior Citizens Center, Bethel Baptist Church, and the many churches within the African American community of Jacksonville, Florida, for their strong support of our research efforts. We also gratefully acknowledge the staffs of Mayo’s ADRC and Clinical Neuropsychology Service for their assistance in test administration, scoring, and data management. We are especially grateful to LaShaune Lawson, Shelia O’Rourke, and Sylvia Stewart, who served as study coordinators for the MOAANS project.

N2 - Normative data for older African Americans are presented for several clinical neuropsychological measures, including Boston Naming Test, Controlled Oral Word Association, Category Fluency, Token Test, WRA T-3 Reading, Trail Making Test, Stroop Color and Word Test, and Judgment of Line Orientation. Age-adjusted norms were derived from a sample of 309 cognitively normal, community-dwelling individuals, aged 56 through 94, participating in Mayo's Older African Americans Normative Studies (MOAANS). Years of education were modelled on age-scaled scores to derive regression equations that may be applied for further demographic correction. These data should enhance interpretation of individual test performances and facilitate analysis of neuropsychological profile patterns in older African American patients who present for dementia evaluations.
