Validation of a Hebrew Selective Reminding Test

We developed a Hebrew version for the Buschke Selective Reminding Memory Te st, with three parallel forms. This Hebrew version was administered in coun terbalanced order to 24 normal subjects aged 14-77 years. We studied the re liability between parallel forms, and the validity and sensitivity memory r eduction in normal aging. Data were compared to American norms. The three H ebrew forms were found to be of equal difficulty, with correlation coeffici ents of .6 to .7 (p's <.01). Age affected the great majority of memory perf ormances, i.e., lower performance with increasing age. Test performance was equivalent to American norms within 6%. We conclude that this Hebrew versi on is reliable and valid, and can be used on Hebrew-speaking populations to assess memory functions.
