Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning, 2nd Edition
|
Four new recognition subtests have been added to the WRAML2: Design Recognition,
Picture Recognition, Verbal Recognition, and Story Memory Recognition.
The WRAML2 is a carefully standardized psychometric instrument which
allows
the user to evaluate an individual's memory functioning. The
WRAML2 affords evaluation of both immediate and delayed memory ability,
as well as the acquisition of new learning.
The new WRAML2 is normed for children, adolescents, and adults, ages
5-90
years. The normative sample was constructed using a national
stratified
sampling technique, controlling
for age, sex, race, region, and education.
As with the original Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning
(WRAMLTM), the WRAML2 includes standard scores, scaled scores, and
percentiles. Age equivalents are provided for the child and
pre-adolescent
age groups. Only one subtest (Visual Learning )
was eliminated in the revision.
The WRAML2 Core Battery is composed of two Verbal, two Visual, and two
Attention/Concentration subtests, yielding a Verbal Memory Index, a
Visual
Memory Index,
and an Attention/Concentration Index. Together, these subtests yield a
General Memory
Index. A new Working Memory Index has been added, which is comprised of
the Symbolic Working Memory and Verbal Working Memory subtests. Four new
recognition subtests have been added: Design Recognition, Picture Re
cognition, Verbal Recognition, and Story Memory Recognition. The Story
Memory subtest includes new stories, and the Picture Memory
subtest provides new full-color scenes. The designs on the Design Memory
Cards have
been changed, and an additional Design Card has been added.
Administration
The Core Battery takes less than an hour to administer. A Screening
Battery, consisting of four subtests from the Core Battery, provides an
overview of memory functioning. Several subtests are incl uded to
supplement the Core Battery, allowing the examiner to add additional
subtests and indices to facilitate qualitative analyses when indicated.
Reliability
Alpha reliabilities for the Core Battery Verbal Memory Index, Visual
Memory Index, and Attention/Concentration Index are .92, .89, and .86,
respectively. The alpha reliability for the General Index is .93.
