Abstract
A preliminary correlational analysis of the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) and California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) was conducted. Numerous strong correlations were found, suggesting a high degree of convergence between the two instruments. CVLT indices reflecting vulnerability to proactive and retroactive interference and types of recall errors, which are not formally measured by the WMS-R, tended not to correlate with WMS-R variables. The utility of these tests in clinical assessment is discussed.Keywords
