David Wechsler

The forthcoming Wechsler Memory Scale&reg; Fifth Edition (WMS&reg;-5) is the most advanced psychometric measure of adult memory. It is an individually administered clinical instrument for assessing immediate, delayed, and recognition memory across auditory and visual perceptual modalities, as well as visual working memory. The WMS&reg;-5 was codeveloped and co-normed with the WAIS&reg;-5, expanding construct coverage, increasing flexibility, and allowing comparison of performance across the two tests.

			<h3>Overview</h3>

			<p>The WMS-5 enables clinicians to explore core aspects of memory in a highly flexible, yet comprehensive, manner within a larger evaluation battery. The WMS-5 shares a normative sample with the WAIS-5, further increasing the utility of these comprehensive assessments when used together.</p>

			<h3>Features and benefits</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Flexible administration options for increasingly comprehensive information.
				<ul>
					<li>Mental Status Screener</li>
					<li>Immediate Memory Screener</li>
					<li>Brief Memory Assessment &ndash; Short Form</li>
					<li>Comprehensive Memory Assessment - Standard Form</li>
				</ul>
				</li>
				<li>Updated content, to streamline administration.</li>
				<li>Expanded scores for in depth interpretation of performance.</li>
				<li>Codeveloped and co-normed with WAIS-5 to enhance score interpretation, increase flexibility, and allow comparison of IQ and memory abilities.</li>
				<li>Alternate form allows for retesting and monitoring of memory processes without repeated exposure to the same stimuli.</li>
				<li>Improved digital administration options to eliminate paper materials (Q-interactive) or to support tele-assessment when traditional on-site testing isn&rsquo;t possible (Q-global).</li>
