The relationship between experimental and neuropsychological measures of memory

Abstract

The current investigation sought to provide convergent and divergent validational information on both experimental and neuropsychological measures short versus long-term memory. Forty undergraduates (20 male, 20 female) were administered memory assessments from the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery, the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Test Battery, and the experimentally developed Paired Associates (Face-Name Association & Distractor tasks). Results indicated that the experimental measures of memory demonstrated a high degree of convergent and divergent validity. Both the Luria-Nebraska Memory Scale and the Halstead-Reitan correlated to long-term measures of memory. The Luria Memory Scale did not significantly correlate to short-term measures of memory. Selected subtests from the Halstead-Reitan correlated to experimentally-derived measures of short-term memory. Implications of this study are discussed and recommendations for future research is discussed.
