The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test and Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised: Relationship to Everyday Memory Impairment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koltai, Deborah C.; Bowler, Rosemarie M.; Shore, Michael D. – Assessment, 1996
A comparison of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (B. Wilson, 1987) and the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised conducted with 20 neurotoxin-exposed and 20 unexposed adults finds that the two tests do not differ significantly in their relationships to estimates of everyday memory, and using both tests does not improve prediction of memory function.…

The Relationship between the WRAML Memory Screening and General Memory Indices in a Clinical Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Guilmette, Thomas J.; Kennedy, Mary Lynne – Assessment, 1997
The Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML) (D. Sheslow and W. Adams, 1990) was given to 51 children. The General Memory Index (GMI) of the WRAML was compared with a short form of the WRAML, the Memory Screening Index (MSI). The MSI was higher than the GMI in 41 of 51 cases. (SLD)

An Empirical Comparison of the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised and the Memory Assessment Scales in Measuring Four Memory Constructs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hilsabeck, Robin C.; Dunn, John T.; Lees-Haley, Paul R. – Assessment, 1996
The Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised (D. Wechsler, 1987) and the Memory Assessment Scales (J. Williams, 1991) were administered to 30 head-injury patients, and results were compared across four dimensions of memory. Results suggest that these scales measure different abilities and are not comparable tests. (SLD)

The Recognition Memory Test, Digit Span, and Knox Cube Test as Markers of Malingered Memory Impairment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Iverson, Grant L.; Franzen, Michael D. – Assessment, 1994
Using the Recognition Memory Test, Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, and the Knox Cube Test as markers for malingered memory deficits was studied with 100 university students, federal inmates, and patients with head injuries. Malingerers performed more poorly than injured patients on all three tests. (SLD)

Construct Validity of Neuropsychological Tests in Schizophrenia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Allen, Daniel N.; Aldarondo, Felito; Goldstein, Gerald; Huegel, Stephen G.; Gilbertson, Mark; van Kammen, Daniel P. – Assessment, 1998
The construct validity of neuropsychological tests in patients with schizophrenia was studied with 39 patients who were evaluated with a battery of six tests assessing attention, memory, and abstract reasoning abilities. Results support the construct validity of the neuropsychological tests in patients with schizophrenia. (SLD)
