Abstract
The Wechsler Memory Scale was administered to 112 patients who had been referred to a clinical psychologist for investigation of cognitive functioning with regard to possible or actual organic pathology of the brain. The aim was to replicate the factor structure of this test found in a previous study. The three-factor structure found in the previous study was replicated very closely, and it also was determined that only a total Digit Span score was needed, as little unique information was provided by the Digits Forwards and Digits Backwards scores. It also was found that the visual reproduction subtest had a significant verbal component.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
