- Abstract
The BANC is an individually administered battery designed to assess a wide range of neurocognitive functions (memory, language, attention, executive functions, motor functions, and laterality) in children aged 5 to 15 years old. This study aimed to obtain regression-based norms for 16- and 17-years old. The standardization sample of the BANC was used (Simões et al., 2016), and it comprises 1104 children and adolescents stratified by age (5 – 15 years, n ≈ 100 per age group), gender, school grade, residential and geographic zones. Regression analyses found a significant predictive effect of age and they allowed the calculation of algorithms for estimating normative data for adolescents aged 16 and 17 years. The regression-based norms revealed adequate accuracy and their application makes it possible to extend the assessment of neurocognitive functioning until the end of adolescence.
