Abstract

The Selective Reminding Test (SRT) is a list-learning task developed to assess verbal memory. The goal of this study was to assess the clinical utility of fewer trials of the SRT as compared with a 12-trial administration, using 2 clinical populations. One sample consisted of 100 end-stage cardiac patients undergoing evaluation for heart transplantation. The other group was made up of 100 patients being evaluated after traumatic brain injury. Scores were derived for Trials 2 through 12. Correlational analyses conducted among these scores revealed correlations exceeding .90 between 6 and 12 trials and correlations exceeding .95 between 8 and 12 trials. These results suggest that fewer trials of the SRT would provide information highly consistent with that provided by 12 trials while reducing administration time.
