title: Validation of two new brief cognitive tests with a WAIS-R short form using a hospitalized depressed sample.
abstract: The K-FAST and K-SNAP, two new brief cognitive measures designed for adolescents and adults, were validated against another brief measure--a four-subtest short form of the WAIS-R--using a sample of 20 adult patients hospitalized for depression. Data supported the validity of these two new instruments.
