Research in Developmental Disabilities, v19 n4 p317-25 Jul-Aug 1998

A protocol for screening the complex verbal, simple verbal, simple visual, and spatial working memory was tested on 125 persons with mild, moderate, and severe mental retardation. Results found the test discriminated well between levels of mental retardation, correlated reasonably well with IQ, and possessed relatively good test-retest reliability. (Author/CR)
