Construct validity of the Continuous Visual Memory Test.
The construct validity of the Continuous Visual Memory Test (CVMT), a new measure of visual recognition memory was evaluated based on the performance of 92 healthy, normal adults. A series of factor analyses were conducted utilizing marker variables for verbal memory, visual memory, attention and concentration, and verbal and visual/nonverbal intellectual functions. CVMT acquisition scores were associated with verbal and visual/nonverbal intellectual factors as well as with attentional ability. The CVMT delayed recognition score was shown to be a factorially "pure" measure of visual memory.
