Abstract

Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) protocols from 251 inpatient normals were used to evaluate and compare changes to WMS scoring. Minor changes (e.g., Power, Logue, McCarty, Rosenstiel, & Ziesat, 1979) to Wechsler's (1945) scoring criteria for the Logical Memory (LM) subtest were evaluated, as were minor changes to the scoring of the Visual Reproduction (VR) subtest. Wechsler's scoring criteria for LM proved robust and those of Power et al. reduced absolute scores on LM.
