This study evaluated the universality of TOMM 2 and provided a reference sample cognitively intact adults living in Spain whose native language was Spanish. A total 203 completed from June 2019 to January 2020. When using original cutoff scores derived English speakers, all participants scored range that would suggest they passed TOMM. cut score less than 40 on Trial 1, only one participant this be mistakenly classified as providing an invalid performance. Spanish-speaking achieved perfect 1...
