Abstract
Two studies were conducted to examine the adequacy of the Visual Reproduction and Logical Memory Subtests of Form II of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-II) as an alternate form for Russell's Revision of the WMS (RWMS). An archival data study on 46 inpatient alcoholics revealed greater pre-/post-treatment differences on Immediate Figural Recall scores for participants tested first on the RWMS, compared with participants tested first on the alternate subtests. In a second study, both forms were administered to 60 noninstitutionalized examinees. Immediate Figural Recall was again higher for subtests from WMS-II; Immediate and Delayed Semantic Recall were higher for RWMS. Data indicate apparent problems in the use of subtests of WMS-II as an alternate form for RWMS.
