Using both clinical and nonclinical samples, we investigated the effects of nondominant hand completion of copy and memory components on the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV) Visual Reproduction (VR) subtest. Part I of the study revealed statistically significant intermanual differences on the copy component, though discrepancies were not clinically meaningful. Part II showed similar memory scores between the group who used their nondominant hand and the group who used their dominant hand. Findings suggest that when a standard administration is precluded, it is reasonable to use the nondominant hand to complete the VR subtest and to make use of the WMS-IV norms for interpretation.
我们使用临床和非临床样本，研究了非优势手完成复制和记忆成分对韦氏记忆量表第四版（WMS-IV）视觉再现（VR）子测验的影响。研究的第一部分显示，在复制成分上，非优势手与优势手之间存在统计学上显著的差异，但差异没有临床意义。第二部分显示，使用非优势手的组与使用优势手的组之间的记忆评分相似。研究结果表明，当标准测试无法进行时，使用非优势手完成 VR 子测验并使用 WMS-IV 标准进行解释是合理的。
