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 as well as a decision tree regarding task selection can be found (in French)  in "Majerus, S. (2023). Les troubles de la rétention en mémoire à court terme/mémoire de travail. In H. Amieva, Ph. Azouvi, E. Barbeau & F. Collette (Eds.), Traité de neuropsychologie clinique de l’adulte – Tome 1 – Evaluation (pp. 2015-230). Louvain-la-Neuve : DeBoeck Supérieur"  and in "Majerus, S. (2020).
