demographically corrected norms for african americans and caucasians on the hopkins verbal learning Test revised brief visuospatial Memory Test revised stroop color and word Test and wisconsin card sorting Test 64 card version
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 2011Co-Authors: Marc A Norman, David Moore, Michael Taylor, Donald Franklin, Lucette A Cysique, Deborah Lazarretto, Florin Vaida, Robert K HeatonAbstract:Memory and executive functioning are two important components of clinical neuropsychological (NP) practice and research. Multiple demographic factors are known to affect performance differentially on most NP Tests, but adequate normative corrections, inclusive of race/ethnicity, are not available for many widely used instruments. This study compared demographic contributions for widely used Tests of verbal and visual learning and Memory (Brief Visual Memory Test–Revised, Hopkins Verbal Memory Test–Revised) and executive functioning (Stroop Color and Word Test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test–64) in groups of healthy Caucasians (n = 143) and African Americans (n = 103). Demographic factors of age, education, gender, and race/ethnicity were found to be significant factors on some indices of all four Tests. The magnitude of demographic contributions (especially age) was greater for African Americans than for Caucasians on most measures. New, demographically corrected T-score formulas were calculated for each rac...

The magnitude of demographic contributions (especially age) was greater for African Americans than for Caucasians on most measures. New, demographically corrected T-score formulas were calculated for each race/ethnicity. The rates of NP impairment using previously published normative standards significantly overestimated NP impairment in African Americans. Utilizing the new demographic corrections developed and presented herein, NP impairment rates were comparable between the two race/ethnicities and were unrelated to the other demographic characteristics (age, education, gender) in either race/ethnicity group. Findings support the need to consider extended demographic contributions to neuropsychological Test performance in clinical and research settings.

Warrington's Recognition Memory Test in the Detection of Response Bias
Journal of Forensic Neuropsychology, 2003Co-Authors: Scott R. MillisAbstract:Use of Warrington's Recognition Memory Test (RMT) for the detection of response bias and malingering is evaluated. The RMT's psychometric characteristics are reviewed. A method for using the RMT to detect response bias is presented: determining the probability of obtaining specific RMT scores; comparing the individual patient's RMT scores with group data from patients with established neurologic disorders; combining RMT data with other Test data; integrating injury characteristics and psychosocial factors with RMT scores; and use of prevalence rates with the RMT. RMT data from a sample 90 persons with acute traumatic brain injury, stratified by injury severity, are presented to provide clinical benchmarks. The evidentiary reliability of the RMT is also discussed in light of Daubert factors.

Diagnostic Efficiency and Material Specificity of the Warrington Recognition Memory Test: A Collaborative Multisite Investigation
Archives of clinical neuropsychology : the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychologists, 2000Co-Authors: Jerry J. Sweet, George J. Demakis, Joseph H. Ricker, Scott R. MillisAbstract:Two studies examined the Warrington Recognition Memory Test (RMT) discrepancy index (Words-Faces) in a large sample of patients heterogeneous with respect to age, education, gender, and neurological diagnosis. In Study 1 (N = 504) we used cutoffs from the Words-Faces discrepancy scores derived from Warrington's original validation sample to attempt to accurately classify patients with left, right, or diffuse brain damage. Sensitivity for left hemisphere patients (Faces > Words) was 10% with a specificity of 88%, whereas sensitivity for right hemisphere patients (Words > Faces) was 48% with a specificity of 86%. For patients with diffuse brain damage (Words = Faces) sensitivity was 69% and specificity was 38%. In Study 2 (N = 263), we examined the relationship between the Words-Faces discrepancy score and Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R; Wechsler, 1981) Logical Memory and Visual Reproduction subTests. Contrary to predictions, patients with Words > Faces performed better on both WMS-R subTests; the Faces > Words discrepancy was not related to Visual Reproduction performance. Potential reasons for these negative findings are discussed, as well as cautions for future RMT discrepancy index use.

Internal Consistency of the Warrington Recognition Memory Test
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1998Co-Authors: Aaron C. Malina, Dana A. Bowers, Scott R. Millis, Sara UekertAbstract:The Recognition Memory Test is frequently used to assess Memory; however, one of the commonly cited limitations is a lack of data on reliability. The current study was undertaken to estimate the internal consistency reliability of the Test with a sample of 72 persons with traumatic brain injury. Acceptable estimates of internal consistency for both subTests were obtained.

The Recognition Memory Test in the assessment of Memory impairment after financially compensable mild head injury: a replication.
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994Co-Authors: Scott R. Millis, Steven H. PutnamAbstract:The current investigation replicated the findings from a 1992 study by Millis. 20 subjects with claimed mild head injury who were seeking financial compensation obtained significantly lower scores on both subTests of the Recognition Memory Test than did 66 rehabilitation inpatients with documented moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries. The direct discriminant function derived by Millis was cross-validated on the current sample and yielded an improved over-all correct classification rate of 83%, with 85% and 82% of the mild and severe traumatic brain-injured subjects classified correctly, respectively. Over-all correct classification rate in the original study was 76%.

Assessment of motivation and Memory with the Recognition Memory Test after financially compensable mild head injury.
Journal of clinical psychology, 1994Co-Authors: Scott R. MillisAbstract:Warrington's Recognition Memory Test (RMT) was used in the assessment of Memory and motivation in a study of 63 adult subjects. Subjects reporting mild head trauma who claimed disability and were seeking financial compensation (MT-Comp) obtained significantly lower scores on both subTests of the RMT than subjects with moderate and severe brain trauma (ST) and subjects with mild head injuries who had returned to work (MT-Work). Of the MT-Comp, 47% and 29% scored below chance on the Faces and Words subTests, respectively, compared to 10% and 6% in ST group and 0% and 0% in the MT-Work group. A discriminant function that consisted of both RMT subTests discriminated between the MT-Work and MT-Comp groups with an overall accuracy of 93%.

Normative Verbal and Non-Verbal Memory Test Scores for Australian Women Aged 56–67:
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 2004Co-Authors: Margaret S. Clark, Lorraine Dennerstein, Shaymaa Elkadi, J. R. Guthrie, Stephen C. Bowden, Victor W. HendersonAbstract:Objective: To establish normative data for Tests of verbal and non-verbal Memory for midlife Australian-born women, and in so doing investigate factors which contribute to variation in Test performance.Method: Two hundred and fifty-seven healthy women aged 56–67 years (mean age 60), who are participating in the Melbourne Women's Midlife Longitudinal Health Project, were administered two word list learning tasks, a story recall task (the East Boston Memory Test) and the Faces subTest from the Wechsler Memory Scale III as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Word list learning tasks consisted of either 16 semantically related words, derived from the California Verbal Learning Test II, or a list of 10 unrelated words. Mood was assessed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression questionnaire.Results: Education was significantly related to Memory performance and there was a nonsignificant trend for Test scores to decline with age. Mood was unrelated to Test performance. A confirmatory factor...
