Patterns of intellectual performance among recently abstinent alcohol abusers on WAIS-R and WMS-R sub-tests.
A group of recently abstinent alcohol abusers were examined using selected subtests of the WAIS-R and the WMS-R. The pattern of performance on the WAIS-R was similar to that well established for its predecessor. A clear nonmodality-specific memory deficit was evident on the WMS-R subtests. The theoretical and clinical implications of the results are briefly discussed.
