title: Equivalence of five forms of the Selective Reminding Test in young and elderly subjects.
abstract: This study evaluated the equivalence of five forms of the Selective Reminding Test, a widely used measure of verbal learning, 45 normal young and 45 normal elderly subjects were randomly administered three of the five test forms on three separate sessions. The five forms generally correlated well with one another and were of comparable difficulty, suggesting adequate test equivalence. Four of the five forms were particularly well matched.
