弗林效应指的是智商的稳步增长，这种增长至少可以追溯到现代智商测试的开始。本研究探讨了临床记忆测试中可能存在的弗林效应，包括语言和非语言材料的学习和回忆。比较1985年出版的成人记忆和信息处理成套测验（AMIPB）及其后继者2007年出版的BIRT（脑损伤康复信托）记忆和信息处理成套测验（BMIPB）中与年龄相关的列表学习和设计学习任务规范，表明记忆功能测试存在显著的弗林效应。这种效果似乎是具体的材料与统计学上显着改善的所有分数的测试，涉及学习和回忆的视觉材料在每个年龄范围内明显超过22年的时间。言语记忆能力似乎相对稳定，在大多数年龄范围内的得分之间没有显着差异。这些测试的临床解释的后果进行了讨论。
The Flynn effect refers to the steady increase in IQ that appears to date back at least to the inception of modern-day IQ tests. This study examined the possible Flynn effects on clinical memory tests involving the learning and recall of verbal and nonverbal material. Comparisons of the age-related norms on the list learning and design learning tasks from the Adult Memory and Information Processing Battery (AMIPB), published in 1985, and its successor, the BIRT (Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust) Memory and Information Processing Battery (BMIPB) published in 2007, indicate that there is a significant Flynn effect on tests of memory function. This effect appears to be material specific with statistically significant improvements in all scores on tests involving the learning and recall of visual material in every age range evident over a 22-year period. Verbal memory abilities appear to be relatively stable with no significant differences between the scores in the majority of age ranges. The ramifications for the clinical interpretation of these tests are discussed.
