Boston naming test results for healthy older Australians: A longitudinal and cross-sectional study

This study reports on a sample of normal Australian elderly who were assessed for naming ability using the Boston Naming Test (BNT). The study aimed to examine and compare the changes in naming ability, using both longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis, and determine the relationships between naming ability and age, educational level, visual acuity and gender and cultural relevance. Contradictory findings were produced regarding age and were dependent on the research design. Longitudinal analysis showed no age-related change in naming ability in subjects over a four-period. In contrast, cross-sectional analysis showed a weak but significant correlation between age and naming ability. Educational level, visual acuity and gender were unrelated to changes in naming ability over time, and unrelated to naming ability across the cohort of elderly. The Australian elderly performed better on the modified Australian version of the BNT than on the original American version. Thus, clinicians need to be cautious when interpreting the results of the BNT for elderly and for populations outside North America. The results of this study also indicate a need for further longitudinal research of a greater duration to establish age-related decline in naming ability.

Swain: Stata module to correct the SEM chi-square overidentification test in small sample sizes or complex models. Statistical Software Components S457617, Boston College Department of Economics.

Swain corrects the chi-square overidentification test (i.e., likelihood ratio test of fit) for structural equation models whethr with or without latent variables. The chi-square statistic is asymptotically correct; however, it does not behave as expected in small samples and/or when the model is complex (cf. Herzog, Boomsma, & Reinecke, 2007). Thus, particularly in situations where the ratio of sample size (n) to the number of parameters estimated (p) is relatively small (i.e., the p to n ratio is large), the chi-square test will tend to overreject correctly specified models. To obtain a closer approximation to the distribution of the chi-square statistic, Swain (1975) developed a correction; this scaling factor, which converges to 1 asymptotically, is multiplied with the chi-square statistic. The correction better approximates the chi-square distribution resulting in more appropriate Type 1 reject error rates (see Herzog & Boomsma, 2009; Herzog, et al., 2007).

L’immigration des Capverdiens à Boston (Dorchester et Roxbury): Strategies d’Intégration Linguistique et Culturelle

Chaque année des centaines de capverdiens se dirigent à l’ambassade des États Unis afin de décrocher un visa, pour venir aux États Unis. Peu importe si le visa attribué a une durée limitée. Ils sont tous à la recherche d’une meilleure vie, ils essayeront tout pour réaliser leurs rêves, enfin ils tentent leur chance. Contrairement à ce que l’on pense l’immigration est un processus complexe qui demande beaucoup de courage et de réflexion. Les causes qui poussent les gens à émigrer sont innombrables. Ainsi par exemple, pour un agriculteur la sécheresse pourrait être la raison pour émigrer. En arrivant sur “le champ de bataille”, l’immigrant réalise que l’immigration a des avantages et des inconvénients.
