Objectives: The purpose of this study is to describe the development of the Multi-cultural Neuropsychological Scale (MUNS). Methods: This is a short scale devised with universal stimuli which are easy to translate into different languages. It consists of 7 subtests evaluating five cognitive domains: attention, memory, executive functioning, constructional praxis and language and was applied to 72 adults of both sexes in an educational range between 1 and 20 years of education.

... lated with memory subtests (range= -0.28 to -0.32); and education was correlated with memory (range= 0.37 to 0.49), constructional praxis (0.44), language (0.59) and attention (0.25). There were no significant differences between males and females. Conclusions: The MUNS appears as a short, portable, and user-friendly tool to assess neuropsychological functioning in adults with low and high education. Future studies remain to be conducted in order to demonstrate its cross-cultural validity.
