| Annotation | The Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) was administered to 564 community-dwelling volunteers aged 60-90 with an educational history of from zero to 25 years of full-time education. People with serious neurological, medical and psychiatric disorders (including dementia) were excluded. The aim of this South Korean study was to explore the effects of demographic variables on SCWT performance and to provide normative information. Age, education and gender were found to be significantly associated with performance on all three pages of the SCWT. Based on the results obtained, SCWT norms were stratified by age (four overlapping tables), education (three strata) and gender. SCWT would appear to be more useful in poorly educated older people, and could be used in future cross-cultural comparisons of geriatric populations. (RH). |
