Abstract
This study provides Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) data for 10 boys and 10 girls in each offour age groups, 7-to 8-years, 9-to 10-years, 11-to 12-years and 14-to 15-years. Gender was not a significant factor in any of the measures in this study. Superior performance by older children was found for acquisition, retention, word span, and retrieval efficiency. Age did not affect acquisition rate, the shape of the serial position curve, memory for the source of items, or the proportion of items recalled after a 20-min delay. The stability of these measures across the wide age range of normal children is indicative of their potential diagnostic significance.Keywords
