Abstract：Objective To test the impact of age, education and gender on the Chinese Version of the Test of Everyday Attention (TEA). Methods 117 normal volunteers were selected. They were grouped by age and education. After screening of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the volunteers were administered to the TEA (version A). Correlation analysis was performed between age and education with TEA. Comparisons between groups were tested in gender. Results There were significant correlations between most subtests with age ex-cept elevator counting, visual elevator counting (VE1) and lottery task. Education correlated with map search and elevator counting with re-versal in the youth group. There were correlation between visual elevator (VE2) and telephone search while counting with education in the young and middle-aged group. Education related to map search, visual elevator (VE1, VE2), elevator counting with reversal, and telephone search in the middle-aged group. The subtests were not statistically different between different gender groups except telephone search. Con-clusion Age and education had effect on TEA while Gender had no significant effect.
