First-Last Names and the Grocery List Selective Reminding Test: two computerized measures of everyday verbal learning.
Data are presented on two computerized tests of everyday verbal learning: Paired associate learning of First-Last Names (FLN), and the Grocery List Selective Reminding Test (GLSRT). MANOVA and multiple regression analyses demonstrated that performance on FLN and GLSRT was most strongly related to age, with significant secondary associations found for gender, with females performing better than males. Additional factor analysis of FLN and GLSRT supported the construct validity of these measures by demonstrating significant associations of performance with traditional newopsychological measures of memory and related functions, including the Paired Associate Learning and Logical Memory subtests from the Wechsler Memory Scale, the Benton Visual Retention Test, and WAIS Digit Symbol.
