title: Extended normative data for the Logical Memory subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised: responses from a sample of cognitively intact elderly medical patients.
abstract: 66 cognitively intact geriatric medical patients (ages 70 to 99; M = 77 yr.) were given the Logical Memory subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised to extend normative data. 43 women and 23 men, 35 white and 31 black persons made up this urban geriatric sample. A review of patients' medical histories and Mattis' Dementia Rating scores of 129 or greater were used to ensure a sample of cognitively intact patients. Analyses showed that Logical Memory scores were uncorrelated with education, race, sex, or age.
