Trelle, Alexandra N.; Henson, Richard N.; Green, Deborah A. E.; Simons, Jon S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
In a Yes/No object recognition memory test with similar lures, older adults typically exhibit elevated rates of false recognition. However, the contributions of impaired retrieval, relative to reduced availability of target details, are difficult to disentangle using such a test. The present investigation sought to decouple these factors by…

Comparative Test-Retest Stability of Four WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in Persons 75 to 87 Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ryan, Joseph J.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
The retest stability of four Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) short forms (Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer; Reynolds, Wilson and Clark; Silverstein; Ward) was investigated with 61 subjects aged 75 to 87 years. Short form stability in each instance was comparable to that of the standard WAIS-R. (SLD)

WAIS-R Abbreviated Forms in the Elderly: A Comparison of the Satz-Mogel with a Seven-Subtest Short Form.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Paolo, Anthony M.; Ryan, Joseph J. – Psychological Assessment, 1993
The Satz-Mogel Abbreviation of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) was compared with a 7-subtest short form of 130 healthy and 40 neurologically impaired older adults. Both short forms were found similar for normal or impaired adults in comparison with the full WAIS-R. (SLD)
