Child and Adolescent Memory Profile™ (ChAMP™)

Elisabeth M.S. Sherman, PhD, and Brian L. Brooks, PhD

The ChAMP is a norm-referenced test of memory for use with children, adolescents, and young adults that allows both in-depth memory evaluation and memory screening.

Features and benefits

• Based on the latest neuroscience research on human memory.
• Brief and easy to administer yet comprehensive: covers core verbal and visual memory domains with only a few subtests.
• Uses common, real-life scenarios and colorful, developmentally appropriate stimuli that are engaging and relevant to young examinees.
• Administration time is only 35 minutes, with no additional delay time required; Screening Index takes about 10 minutes.
• No motor response required.
• Focused on learning—each subtest has multiple learning trials.
• Includes built-in validity indicators.
• Allows for in-depth analysis and progress monitoring through discrepancy score analysis and reliable change scores; a base rate analysis of low scores and a strengths and weaknesses analysis are also available.

• Provides intervention recommendations for both home and school.

 Test structure

•  Includes two verbal memory and two visual memory subtests; these combine to yield an overall score, the Total Memory Index. Additional Index scores reflect performance in visual and verbal memory and immediate and delayed memory.

• The Screening Index, comprising one verbal and one visual subtest, is useful for brief memory screening.

  Technical information

• Standardized using a large normative sample of more than 1,200 participants representative of the 2012 U.S. population.
• Clinical sample includes a large clinical sample of more than 200 children with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, brain injury, and intellectual development disability.

• Supported by strong evidence of reliability and validity.
