California Verbal Learning Test-II (CVLT-II; Delis, Kramer, Kaplan, & Ober, 2000 )

CVLT-II assesses both recall and recognition of two word lists over immediate and delayed memory trials. In first 5 trials, person recalls words from List A immediately after presentation. List A consists of 16 words, four from each of four semantic categories. List B, a 16-word interference list, is presented once, followed by a short delay free recall and short delay cued recall of List A. A 20-minute delay is introduced, followed by a long delay free recall and long delay cued recall and recognition of List A.

Internal reliability coefficients are high and range from .79 to .96 for 5 immediate recall trials of CVLT-II. Test-retest reliability coefficients are high for overall measures as, Trials 1 - 5, Short- and Long-Delay Free Recall (.80 to .89)^a,c

Convergent validity of CVLT II coefficients with Paired Word Test was moderate (.76)^a,c

Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (Developed by Rey (1941) and translated by into English by Corwin and Bylsma, 1993 )

Permitsassessment of a variety of cognitive processes, including planning, organization skills, and problem solving strategies, as well as perceptual, motor, and episodic memory functions. Consists of a copy, immediate and delayed recall, and recognition of the Rey Complex Figure.

High interrater and intrarater reliability coefficients for total scores (Berry, Allen, & Schmitt, 1991; Delaney, Prevey, Cramer, Mattson, & VA EpilepsyCooperativeStudy 264 Research Group, 1992) ^a,c

Data from correlation and factor analysis support the validity of the Rey Complex Figure Test as a measure of visual-constructional ability based on copy portion of test and memory based on recall and recognition portions (Meyers & Meyers, 1995) ^a,c

Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT; Lezak, Howieson, & Loring, 2004 )

List learning and memory task. List A consists of 15 nouns that are read aloud for 5 consecutive trials, each trial is followed by a free recall test. List B, an interference list, is then presented followed by free recall of that list. Trial 6 is the delayed recall of List A. After a 20-minute delay, Trial 7, a free recall test of List A is performed, followed by recognition test of List A. Used as an alternate for CVLT-II.

Internal reliability coefficient of total score was .90 (van den Burg & Kingma, 1999) . Test-retest reliability for Trial 5 and delayed recall were .60 to .70 (Mitrushina, Satz, Chervinsky, & D’Elia 1991) ^a,c

RAVLT correlates moderately well with other measures of learning and memory as, the WMS-III Logical Memory Test and CVLT-II (Johnstone, Vieth, Johnson, & Shaw, 2000; Crossen & Wiens, 1994) ^a,c
