The Wechsler Memory Scale, Third Edition (WMS-III) was published in 1997 and marked an ambitious and substantial revision of the traditional memory scale. Since publication, however, clinical experience has led many practitioners to raise questions about the validity and clinical utility of the new subtests and new index scores. The impetus of this special issue was to address some of the questions with which clinicians have been struggling. The articles contained in this special issue present new empirical research on the WMS-III, and several include new methods and scoring techniques that go beyond what has been published in the WAIS-III-WMS-III Technical Manual (The Psychological Corporation, 1997, 2002). It is hoped that the new scores and techniques will prove useful in clinical practice and that this research will benefit future revisions of the Wechsler Memory Scale.
韦氏记忆量表第三版（WMS - III）于1997年出版，标志着对传统记忆量表进行了大胆且实质性的修订。然而，自出版以来，临床经验使许多从业者对新的子测验和新的指数得分的有效性及临床实用性提出了质疑。本期特刊的目的是解决一些临床医生一直纠结的问题。本期特刊中的文章呈现了关于WMS - III的新实证研究，其中几篇还包含了超越《WAIS - III - WMS - III技术手册》（心理公司，1997年，2002年）已发表内容的新方法和计分技术。希望新的得分和技术在临床实践中能被证明是有用的，并且这项研究将有益于韦氏记忆量表未来的修订。
