Rivermead behavioural memory test
Basic Characteristics
- Description
The Rivermead behavioral memory test (RBMT) predicts everyday memory problems in those with acqueired, nonprogressive brain injury and can also be used to monitor change over time. The test is comprised of tasks which are comparable to everyday situations that seem problematic for memory impaired patients. In 1999 the RBMT-Extended version was created to detect mild memory deficits. In order to enhance the difficulty of the test, the amount of material to be remembered was doubled. In 2003 the RBMT-II was released with updated materials but no further development of subtests or restandardization of the test. The RBMT is intended for adults and can be individually administered in approximately 30 minutes.
- History
The RBMT was published in 1985 by Barbara Wilson, Janet Cockburn, and Alan Baddeley.
