An Empirical Comparison of the Wechsler Memory Scale--Revised and the Memory Assessment Scales in Measuring Four Memory Constructs.

Williams, 1991) were administered to 30 head-injury patients, and results were compared across four dimensions of memory. Results suggest that these scales measure different abilities and are not comparable tests. (SLD)
