Abstract

An alternate form of the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) was developed and compared with the original form. The two CVLT forms yielded equivalent mean scores for all 19 learning and memory variables analyzed. No significant practice effects were found regardless of the order of administration of the two forms. The two forms yielded almost identical relationships between overall memory performance and age and education. Sixteen of the CVLT variables resulted in significant alternate form reliability coefficients. The coefficients for the traditional recall measures of the CVLT were particularly robust and higher than those reported for other, commonly used clinical memory tests.
