P4‐115: DEVELOPMENT OF THE STANDARDISED, MULTILINGUAL MINI LINGUISTIC STATE EXAMINATION (MLSE) TO CLASSIFY AND MONITOR PRIMARY PROGRESSIVE APHASIA

executive functioning/processing speed, and language. The model showed excellent fit for both the BLK (X 1⁄4 136, df 1⁄4 45, CFI 1⁄4 .997, RMSEA 1⁄4 .043) and NHW group (X 1⁄4 406, df 1⁄4 45, CFI 1⁄4 .994, RMSEA 1⁄4 .036). Invariance analyses indicated partial measurement invariance with the four-factor model demonstrating configural and metric invariance but not scalar invariance. Conclusions: Findings suggest that neuropsychological test scores may measure equivalent cognitive traits across these racial groups; however, intercept level differences indicate that absolute levels of performance cannot be meaningfully compared across groups. This study is an important step in understanding racial/ethnic cognitive disparities; however, it is critically important that future research investigate how social and environmental experiences contribute to such disparities across the lifecourse. Failure to examine both measurement invariance and socio-cultural contributors to cognitive disparities across different racial/ethnic groups may lead to inaccurate classification of cognitive impairment.
