Michael Schmidt, PhD, ABPP, ABN

This handbook brings together more than a dozen versions of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT)—including various forms and stimulus sheets, in various languages, using various recognition and recall strategies.

• verbal learning and memory,
• proactive inhibition,
• retroactive inhibition,
• retention,
• encoding versus retrieval, and

• subjective organization.

Because the test is brief and easy to understand, it has gained international acceptance. However, until now, data about the RAVLT have been scattered in disparate sources.

• administration,
• scoring, norms, forms,
• interpretation,
• moderator variables,
• malingering,
• test–retest comparisons,
• reliability, and

• validity.

Appendixes include forms and stimulus sheets, supplementary scores and indexes, and conversion tables for obtaining z-scores, T-scores, standard scores, and percentiles. A four-page Record Sheet and Score Summary lets you quickly organize and record special scores and indexes.

This very helpful handbook lets you use the RAVLT with greater ease and confidence.
