Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test

TLDR

The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT) is a battery introduced in 1990 to assess impaired memory function, with a recent Danish edition and accompanying review. The study evaluates the RBMT’s effectiveness in assessing impaired memory function. In ten paired assessments, the RBMT performed favorably for estimating everyday memory functions, though its merits and shortcomings were discussed.

Abstract

Abstract La Cour, P. & Gallagher, K. (1990). Presentation and evaluation of Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test. Nordisk Psykologi, 42, 130–141. The article presents an evaluation of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test, a test battery for illuminating impaired memory function. The RBMT has recently been published in Danish together with a short review of its background and contents. Results from 10 examinations where both RBMT and a traditional test battery were applied lead to a discussion regarding the tests merits and shortcomings. The test battery has shown to be of benefit where everyday memory functions are estimated.
