Working Memory Children Date of SC final approval About the Measure Domain: Measure: Definition: Purpose: Neurology Working Memory An interviewer-administered test that measures the ability of the respondent to process and retrieve information associated with short-term memory. This measure tests a respondent's total range of function with respect to working memory. It is therefore more specific and sensitive than a measure of global mental status and can be used to assess major problems in working memory as well as minor variations that may be a consequence of normal development and aging. About the Protocol Description of Protocol: Selection Rationale: Specific Instructions: Protocol Text: The Children’s Memory Scale® assesses a range of memory function in children and includes short and long-term visual and verbal working memory and executive working memory tasks. The verbal working memory subtest includes recall of two stories read by an examiner. The respondent is given credit for correctly recalled themes and verbatim story blocks. The executive working memory includes a forward and backward digit span and sequence (e.g., alphabet, days of the week) tasks. The Children’s Memory Scale® is a valid and reliable test of various aspects of shortterm and working memory. The working memory subtest of the Children’s Memory Scale® is a proprietary interviewer-administered test. Each Children’s Memory Scale® subtest is a part of a complete Children’s Memory Scale® assessment and is not sold separately. To administer a subtest requires a licensing agreement from Pearson.
