The CMT-2 assessment, a computerized version of the original Contextual Memory Test (CMT), evaluates memory and meta-memory skills. Assessing these skills among adolescents’ is important for the development of interventions improving daily function. The objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) test re-test reliability, (2) internal consistency, (3) and concurrent validity with the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA). Method: Twenty-two Israeli teenagers (12 boys and 10 girls) aged 12-18 years were recruited by convenience sampling. Participants completed the CMT-2 assessment, followed by the WCPA. Results: The reliability between raters was (r=0.94-0.96), indicating good results. Significant positive correlations were found between performance estimations of the immediate and delayed recall memory tasks (internal consistency) (r=0.519, p<0.05), as well as between the total number of strategies used and the total number of items remembered. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was found between the number of strategies and self-awareness (r=0.343, p<0.05). However, concurrent validity with the WCPA measure was not found. Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest that the CMT-2 measure can be used to assess memory and memory strategies in adolescents. Nonetheless, future research is required to adapt the CMT-2 to the Israeli population, and to determine concurrent validity with a different measure evaluating similar cognitive elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
