The picture Free and Cued Selective Reminding with Immediate Recall (pFCSRT-IR) has been widely useful for episodic memory assessment in patients with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study presents adaptation and evidence of criterion and concurrent validity of the pFCSRT-IR for use in Brazil. The study was conducted in two complementary steps. Step A: authorization, translation, back-translation, and selection of a set of the 16 most nameable pictures in Brazil. Step B: n ϭ 50 elderly individuals, 61-86 years of age (M ϭ 73.26, SD ϭ 6.70) and 3-25 years of education (M ϭ 10.80, SD ϭ 5.76), were evaluated with the pFCSRT-IR. Participants were categorized into two paired groups (25 AD/25 controls) for comparison in the pFCSRT-IR. In addition, a correlational analysis was conducted among pFCSRT-IR and Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) scores. Performance on the pFCSRT-IR was lower for the AD group. Moreover, considering all sample scores in the pFCSRT-IR and This article was published Online First March 14, 2019.
