Abstract
Abstract The Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) was administered to 13 individuals with normal premorbid abilities who had experienced moderate to severe head injuries at least 1 year previously. Results were compared to performance on the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT), and the Paced Auditory Serial-Addition Task (PASAT). The findings in the present sample of head-injured individuals indicated greater construct validity for the WMS-R Indexes of Verbal, Visual, and Delayed Memory than for the Attention Concentration Index. Further research is suggested to replicate and clarify these findings, and it is further recommended that additional measures of attention and concentration be used to supplement the WMS-R in clinical practice.
