Description: Measure visuospatial memory A measure of visuospatial memory, the BVMT-R can be used as part of a large neuropsychological battery, as a screening measure, and as a repeat measure to document changes over time. Features and benefits Designed for easy administration in clinical settings or at the bedside Six equivalent, alternate stimulus forms consist of six geometric figures printed in a 2 × 3 array on separate pages. Test structure In three Learning Trials, the respondent views the stimulus page for 10 seconds and is asked to draw as many of the figures as possible in their correct location on a page in the response booklet. A Delayed Recall Trial is administered after a 25-minute delay. Last, a Recognition Trial, in which the respondent is asked to identify which of 12 figures were included among the original geometric figures, is administered. An optional Copy Trial may be administered to screen for severe visuoconstructive deficits and to help in scoring recall responses. Technical information Reliability coefficients range from .96 to .97 for the three Learning trials, .97 for Total Recall, and .97 for Delayed Recall. Test-retest reliability coefficients range from .60 for Trial 1 to .84 for Trial 3. The BVMT-R correlates most strongly with other tests of visual memory and less strongly with tests of verbal memory.
