Working memory assessment instruments

Verbal working memory tests validated in French-speaking children and adult populations are available for download here.

A synthesis of the framework underlying task construction can be found (in French) at " Majerus, S. (2014). L'évaluation de la mémoire à court terme. In X. Seron & M. Van der Linden (Eds.), Traité de neuropsychologie clinique – 2ème édition. Marseille : Solal " and (in English) " Majerus, S. (2013). Language repetition and short-term memory: An integrative framework. Frontiers in Human Neurosciences, 7(357)."

We thank Coline Grégoire, Pascal Laigle, Trecy Martinez Perez and Nathalie Wiot for their help in data collection. The norms provided here are regularly updated.
