目的本研究的目的是确定影响韩国版韦氏记忆量表（WMS）-IV中逻辑记忆（LM）分测验成绩的人口统计学变量，并为韩国中老年人LM分测验提供规范性数据。结果年龄、文化程度与LM分测验成绩有显著相关，性别差异无统计学意义。因此，我们按年龄和教育程度对规范块进行分层。年龄分为三组：50-59岁、60-74岁和75-90岁。教育分为三类：0-8岁，9-12岁，和13岁或以上。结论在目前的研究中提供的规范性数据预计将在临床和研究环境中有用，以检测或定义韩国成年人和老年人情节记忆的微妙变化，也可用于使用不同语言的老年人群中言语情景记忆表现的跨文化比较。
Objective The purpose of this study is to identify the demographic variables that are affecting performances on the Logical Memory (LM) subtest included in the Korean version of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS)-IV and to provide normative data on the LM subtest for the middle-age and elderly Korean people.Methods The participants were 435 non-demented adults aging from 50 to 90 and with the educational level ranging from 0 to 21 years.Results Age and education were found to be significantly associated with performance on the LM subtest, while gender effect was not statistically significant. Therefore, we stratified the norm blocks by age and education. Age was divided into three groups: 50-59, 60-74, and 75-90 years. Education was stratified into three groups: 0-8 years, 9-12 years, and 13 years or more.Conclusion The normative data provided in the current study are expected to be useful in clinical and research settings to detect or define subtle changes in episodic memory in Korean adults and elderly, and can also be used for cross-cultural comparison of verbal episodic memory performance among elderly populations using different languages.
