Abstract: A battery of "the Clinical Memory Test" has been designed andconstructed to suit the need for memory assessment in practice andresearch. It consists of 5 subtests: directed memory, paired-associationlearning, free recall of pictures, recognition of meaningless figures, recallof the connection between portraits and their characteristics. Twomatched forms, A and B, were composed at the same time. For standar-dization of the test, we selected a literate sample with 2161 S's and aniliterate one with 1149S's, 20-89 years of age. The test result of the twostandardization samples appeared in normal distribution, and thecorrelation ratio between forms A and B in replication test was 0.85.The relationship between memory assessment and learning performance,or between memory assessment and age, is consistent with experience.The application of this test to brain tumor patients showed that therecognition of meaningless figures is related with the function of theright hemisphere while the paired-association learning with that of theleft hemisphere, a result in accordance with our prediction. These resultsindicate the qualified reliability and validity of the test constructed.
