Opplysninger | Abstract.A new test of verbal learning and memory, the Hopkins Verbal Learning Ttest, was developed. The test cosists of three trials of free-recall of a 12-item, semantically categorized list, followed by yes/no recognition. Six parallel forms yielded equivalent results in normals. The performance of patients with Alzheimer's disease and chronic amnesia is described. The test is likely to be useful in patients too impaired for more comprehensive memory assessments and were repeated testing is necessary.
