Abstract

The Aggie Figures Learning Test (AFLT) is a visual memory assessment tool, which was constructed as an analog to the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). Since the test holds close resemblance to the RAVLT, it is possible to make meaningful comparisons between these two tests. These comparisons are notably relevant in the assessment of material-specific memory impairments in epilepsy. However, the AFLT convergent validity has not yet been established.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the convergent validity of the AFLT and to provide norms for an adult population ranging from 18 to 58.

Method: 140 healthy volunteers participated in the study. They ranged in age from 18 to 58 years, with 12 to 25 years of education. Subjects were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery which included the ALFT (A version) and the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF).

Results: Positive correlations were found between the scores of both tests for recent memory (r = 0.606, p < 0.01), delayed free recall (r = 0.534, p < 0.01) and recognition memory (r = 0.202, p < 0.05). These results demonstrate the convergent validity of the AFLT.

Conclusions: The AFLT is a visual memory assessment tool with adequate psychometric properties, which allows a comprehensive evaluation of visual memory processes.

Aggie 数字学习测试的有效性和青壮年标准。

阿吉图形学习测验（AFLT）是一种视觉记忆评估工具，它是雷伊听觉言语学习测验（RAVLT）的类似物。由于该测验与雷伊听觉言语学习测验（RAVLT）非常相似，因此可以对这两种测验进行有意义的比较。这些比较对于评估癫痫患者的材料特异性记忆障碍具有重要意义。然而，AFLT的收敛有效性尚未得到证实：本研究旨在证明 AFLT 的收敛有效性，并为 18 至 58 岁的成年人群提供标准：140 名健康志愿者参加了研究。他们的年龄从 18 岁到 58 岁不等，受教育年限从 12 年到 25 年不等。受试者接受了包括 ALFT（A 版）和 Rey-Osterrieth 复杂图形（ROCF）在内的综合神经心理测试：结果：发现这两项测试的近期记忆得分之间存在正相关（r = 0.606，p r = 0.534，p r = 0.202，p 结论：AFLT 是一项视觉记忆测试：AFLT 是一种视觉记忆评估工具，具有充分的心理测量特性，可对视觉记忆过程进行全面评估。

期刊介绍： pplied Neuropsychology-Adult publishes clinical neuropsychological articles concerning assessment, brain functioning and neuroimaging, neuropsychological treatment, and rehabilitation in adults. Full-length articles and brief communications are included. Case studies of adult patients carefully assessing the nature, course, or treatment of clinical neuropsychological dysfunctions in the context of scientific literature, are suitable. Review manuscripts addressing critical issues are encouraged. Preference is given to papers of clinical relevance to others in the field. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further considerations are peer reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single-blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
