Abstract
The Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised has addressed many of its predecessor's shortcomings. Due to its relatively strong psychometric grounding and representative normative sampling, the WMS-R will likely obtain a prominent position in many neuropsychology batteries. The WMS-R contains multiple memory measures, has included a Delayed Recall Index, and separates attention/concentration factors from verbal, visual, and general memory function. Consequently, it is hoped that the information obtainable will have clinical, as well as psychometric, significance. This paper reviews the revised scale, and presents some preliminary concerns regarding the test's construction prior to its widespread implementation.Keywords
