This study investigated whether the Multiple Choice, Paired Associates, Free Recall, and Long Delayed Free Recall subtests of Green's Word Memory Test (WMT) were sensitive to memory impairment after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 107 persons who passed performance validity criteria on the same instrument. Whereas several of the California Verbal Learning Test-Second Edition indices demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with coma duration, and also showed statistically significant mean differences between TBI severity groups, none of the four WMT memory subtests did so. It is concluded that, although the WMT is an excellent performance validity test, it is not sensitive to memory impairment after TBI.
本研究调查了格林词语记忆测验(WMT)的多项选择、配对联想、自由回忆和长时延迟自由回忆子测验是否能敏感地反映 107 名通过同一工具的表现有效性标准的创伤性脑损伤(TBI)后记忆障碍。尽管加利福尼亚语言学习测验第二版的几个指标与昏迷持续时间有统计学显著相关性,并且在 TBI 严重程度组之间也显示出统计学显著的均值差异,但四个 WMT 记忆子测验都没有。结论是,尽管 WMT 是一种出色的表现有效性测试,但它对 TBI 后的记忆障碍不敏感。
