Popis: A principal components factor analysis of the 12 subtests of the WMS-R, WAIS Verbal and Performance IQ scores, and measures of a modified Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery was performed on a sample of 135 patients. The Visual Reproduction subtests I and II factored with other spatial measures and Performance IQ while Logical Memory I and II and Verbal Paired Associates I and II emerged as separate verbal memory factors. Additionally, two attention/concentration factors were found, one primarily verbal and one primarily visual. Further study in the interpretation of the Verbal and Visual Memory Indexes was advised.
