The 30 Word Pair test, the 20 (or 30) Figure test and the 30 Personal Data test, were analysed in 2 groups of patients used in earlier studies of retrograde amnesia (N= 112) and anterograde amnesia (N= 90) on the day of the first electroconvulsive treatment. 2 measures, denoted" immediate reproduction" and" forgetting," were studied. The internal-consistency reliability was computed. The concurrent validity as regards influence of an electroconvulsive treatment was estimated from point-biserial correlation coefficients." Forgetting" was a highly valid measure both of retrograde and of anterograde amnesia. An analysis of construct validity by means of" multitrait-multimethod" correlation matrices showed that" immediate reproduction" in the 3 tests indicates a common, hypothetical construct," learning," and that" forgetting" indicates another common, hypothetical construct," retention." The reliability and the concurrent validity of the combined test were usually higher than in each separate test. The increased validity may be fully explained by the increased reliability.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
