Recent research has reported the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test Trial V (RAVLT-V) score to be a sensitive indicator of global cognitive functioning, not merely verbal learning skills. The concurrent validity of the RAVLT-V relative to other neuropsychological measures frequently utilized in medical rehabilitation was investigated in a sample of 64 outpatients diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The sample was predominantly male (77%), white (97%), youthful (31.4±11.5 years), high school educated, and an average of 53 months postinjury. Using stepwise multiple regression analysis, a three-variable model consisting of gender, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised Delayed Memory Index, and Trailmaking Part B (time) accounted for 61% of the variance in RAVLT-V scores. These findings suggest that in TBI patients, the RAVLT taps not only specific verbal learning and memory, but also global cognitive functions. Sensitivity to diffuse neuropsychological changes and ease/speed of administration make the RAVLT a valuable tool in medical rehabilitation settings.
