The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, which requires the free recall of the same list of 15 unrelated words over 5 trials, was administered to 21 high-functioning adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 21 matched typical individuals. The groups showed similar overall levels of free recall, rates of learning over trials and subjective organisation of their recall. Howeve...

Inter-individual variability in memory performance has been suggested to result, in part, from genetic differences in the coding of proteins involved in long-term potentiation (LTP). The present study examined the effect of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the KIBRA gene (rs17070145) on episodic memory performance, using multiple measures of verbal and visual episodic memory. A total o...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Persian version of the Sustained Auditory Attention Capacity Test in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. METHODS The Persian version of the Sustained Auditory Attention Capacity Test was constructed to assess sustained auditory attention using the metho...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdProspective cohort analysis of data from the ACCORD trial included 2,956 adults aged $55 years with type 2 diabetes and additional cardiovascular risk factors. Cognitive tests (Digit Symbol Substitution Test [DSST], Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Stroop Test, and Mini Mental Status Examination) were conducted at baseline and 20 months. Study outcomes were inciden...

Behavioral frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) may present with episodic memory deficits. In 38 patients bvFTD and 61 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) specific measures of verbal (learning curves serial position effects) were studied through the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning test. Forty-two percent showed deficits delayed recall similar to that found in AD including effects. Amnestic had more severe atrophy...

INTRODUCTION In clinical settings, neuropsychological test performance is traditionally evaluated with total summary scores (TSS). However, recent studies demonstrated that indices of intraindividual variability (IIV) yielded unique information complementing TSS. This 18-month longitudinal study sought to determine whether IIV indices derived from a multitrial list-learning test (the Rey Audito...
