ABSTRACT
Financial capacity (FC) is conceptualized as a dimension that encompasses a wide range of basic aptitudes and the capacity to judge and assess situations and make decisions according to one best interests. The Numerical Activities of Daily-Living-Financial (NADL-F) is an instrument of FC for clinical use developed in Italy. This study aims to perform a preliminary analysis on the psychometric characteristics of the Portuguese version of NADL-F. NADL-F as well as other neuropsychological instruments were administered to three groups Healthy Control (n = 11); Mild Neurocognitive Disorder group (n = 19); Major Neurocognitive Disorder group (n = 19). NADL-F and its tasks were considered acceptable, showed good reliability for the entire sample (α = .808) and the majority of the domains correlated significantly with each other and with the total scale. Between group comparisons showed significant differences regarding all domains. Arithmetic, schooling and executive functioning accounted for 54.1% of the variance on the test. The Portuguese version of NADL-F proved to be an acceptable and valid instrument of assessing FC in the context of cognitive aging. NADL-F is an instrument that emulates real life financial situations, and it can be used in a second level of evidence in the clinical model of FC assessment.
