2.8. Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised
verbal and visual memory
The Wechsler Memory Scale-R (WMS-R) is a comprehensive test that assesses verbal memory, visual memory, general memory and attention and concentration functions. The verbal memory test was analyzed as the sum of logical memory and verbal versus associative, the visual memory test as the sum of graphic memory, visual versus associative and visual recall, and general memory function (short-term memory) as the sum of verbal and visual memory test results. The attention/concentration was analyzed by summing the mental control, digit span and visual memory span score. Each subtest was used according to the instruction (WMS-R David Wechsler).
