“…jury may affect an individual's ability to efficiently process verbal information at the input or output stage of a memory task. Their results showed that the contribution of language deficits to scores on recall rneasures of such tests as the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) may be minimized by examining the percentage of items remembered correctly from the best performance during the initial learning trials rather than by examination of the absolute number of items correctly recalled (Crosson, Cooper, et al, 1993). Wilson, 1992).…”

“…In these latter cases, the pattern of language disturbance is consistent with the pattern observed after vascular lesions in the same regions (Levin et al, 1982). Despite the rarity of classical aphasic syndromes, however, varylng degrees of less pervasive language disturbance are common after TBI (Crosson, Cooper, et al, 1993;Levin et al, 1982).…”

The California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) is a popular clinical and research test that claims to measure key constructs in cognitive psychology such as repetition learning, serial position effects, semantic organization, intrusions, and proactive interference. The psychometric characteristics of the CVLT are reviewed and related to the test's clinical utility. The utility of the CVLT is shown to be limited by its poor standardization and inflated norms. Further, the validity is limited because the CVLT uses multiple trials whereas the constructs it purports to measure are based on single-trial paradigms. The review proposes modifications to the CVLT and guidelines for its clinical use. It concludes that if the limitations of the CVLT are recognized, it can still make a useful contribution to the clinical assessment of verbal learning and memory.
