Children's Memory Scale

Abstract

Cohen's ``Children's Memory Scale'' (CMS; Cohen states that the development of this instrument aims to improve upon existing children's memory tests by (a) better accounting for childhood developmental change, (b) allowing meaningful comparisons with commonly used children's intelligence tests, (c) allowing for comparison with the Wechsler Memory Scale-III (WMS-III; Wechsler, 1997), (d) providing a memory test which is academically and clinically germaine, and (e) keeping the subtests and administration ``child friendly.''
