本研究旨在检验韦氏记忆量表修订版（WMS-R; Wechsler, 1987）与记忆评估量表（MAS; Williams, 1991）之间的关系。样本包括51例接受神经心理学检查的患者。平均年龄55.29岁（SD = 20.94）。平均受教育年限为11.94年（SD = 3.18）。全量表平均值为94.75 （SD = 15.44）。结果表明，没有MAS指数的相关性高于。60与任何WMS-R指数。在每个记忆域的仪器之间有最小的特定预测。临床试验之间的一致性也很低。对年龄、教育程度、智力或诊断等因素的修正降低了测试之间的关系，尽管不是很明显。对每个测试的固有可靠性的相关性的修正增加了测试之间的相关性，但仍然导致最大共同方差从56%（对于视觉测量）下降到40%（对于一般记忆）。这些结果与“一般记忆”不如“一般智力”有用的观点是一致的，而且这些一般记忆测试测量的是不同的潜在结构。这对我们如何构思和报告记忆测试结果有重要影响。(C) 1999年国家神经心理学研究院。Elsevier Science Ltd.出版。
The present study was an attempt to examine the relationship between the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R; Wechsler, 1987) and the Memory Assessment Scale (MAS; Williams, 1991). The sample consisted of 51 patients referred for neuropsychological examination. Average age was 55.29 (SD = 20.94). Average education was 11.94 years (SD = 3.18). Average Full Scale le was 94.75 (SD = 15.44). The results showed that no MAS index correlated higher than .60 with any of the WMS-R indices. There was minimal specific prediction between instruments across each memory domain. Agreement between the tests clinically was low as well. Corrections for such factors as age, education, intelligence or diagnosis lowered the relationships between the tests although not significantly. Corrections to the correlations for the inherent reliability of each test increased correlations between the tests but still resulted in a maximum common variance of 56% (for the visual measures) down to 40% (for General Memory). These results are consistent with the argument that "general memory" is not as useful a construct as that of "general intelligence" and that these tests of general memory measure different underlying constructs. This has important impact on how we conceive and report memory test results. (C) 1999 National Academy of Neuropsychology. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
