Abstract

Patients frequently verbalize memory complaints that require evaluation. A brief objective screening test of short-term aka episodic memory would be useful. Assessment of verbal episodic memory is a central factor in neurocognitive status, frequently evaluated with list learning and memory tests. Currently, normed list learning tests of verbal episodic memory are mostly high demand, long, and composed of unrelated items and thus can be onerous and disinteresting for certain populations, such as those who are cognitively limited, elderly, or poorly motivated. Presented here are initial performance data for a brief, low demand, readily accepted nine-item grocery list test, derived from the Dementia Assessment Battery, including three learning trials and one delayed recall trial. With this data set, the test can thus be useful in a wide range of assessment circumstances including screening, brief evaluations, mental status evaluations, and bedside deployment.

摘要

患者经常口述需要评估的记忆抱怨。短期 aka 情景记忆的简短客观筛选测试将很有用。言语情景记忆的评估是神经认知状态的核心因素，经常通过列表学习和记忆测试进行评估。目前，语言情景记忆的规范列表学习测试大多要求高、时间长且由不相关的项目组成，因此对于某些人群来说可能是繁重且无趣的，例如认知能力有限、老年人或动力不足的人群。此处提供的是一项简短、低需求、易于接受的九项杂货清单测试的初始性能数据，该测试源自痴呆症评估组合，包括三项学习试验和一项延迟回忆试验。有了这个数据集，
