Retention measures are psychometric measures of memory retention

Memory is a very broad function which includes several distinct abilities, all of which can be selectively impaired and require individual testing. There is disagreement as to the number of memory systems, depending on the psychological perspective taken. From a clinical perspective, a view of five distinct types of memory, is in most cases sufficient.[1] Semantic memory and episodic memory (collectively called declarative memory or explicit memory); procedural memory and priming or perceptual learning (collectively called non-declarative memory or implicit memory) all four of which are long term memory systems; and working memory or short term memory.[2] Semantic memory is memory for facts, episodic memory is autobiographical memory, procedural memory is memory for the performance of skills, priming is memory facilitated by prior exposure to a stimulus and working memory is a form or short term memory for information manipulation.[3][4]

There are different neuropsychological assessment measures for each aspect of memory


General memory measures


Short term memory assessment

Long term memory assessment

Autobiographical memory

  • Autobiographical Memory Interview (AMI)

Implicit Memory Testing

Implicit memory tests indirectly measure the retention of information that has not been consciously attended to.

  • Implicit Association Test (IAT)
  • Lexical Decision Task (LDT)
  • Word Stem Completion (WSC)
  • Artificial Grammar Learning (AGL)
  • Word Fragment Completion (WFC)


Episodic memory measures

  • Gröber & Buschke (verbal)
  • DMS48 (visual)

Prospective memory measures

Verbal memory measures


Visual memory tests

Semantic memory measures


Indirect tests of memory

  • Implicit Association Test,
  • Lexical Decision Task,
  • Word Stem Completion task,
  • Artificial Grammar Learning,
  • Word Fragment Completion

Recognition

  • Warrington Recognition Memory Test

Tests of malingering

Memory tests for children

For sorting

  • Babcock Story Recall test
  • Biber Figure Learning Test (BFLT)
  • Complex Figure Test (copy, recall, recognition)
  • Dead or Alive Test
  • Everyday Memory Questionnaire (EMQ)
  • Doors and People
  • MCI Screen
  • Portland Digit Recognition Test (PDRT)
  • Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test
  • Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test
  • Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test Extended (RBMT-E)



  • Wechsler Memory Scale Revised (WMS-R)
  • Wechsler Memory Scale—III (WMS-III)
  • Wechsler Memory Scale – 4th UK Edition (WMS-IV)
