Summary

New substitute tasks for the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test-Extended (RBMT-E) allow mobility-impaired individuals to be assessed. Normative data for these adapted tasks ensure accurate evaluation for a wider patient group.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test-Extended (RBMT-E) is a valuable tool for assessing memory.
  • Individuals with mobility impairments face challenges in completing standard RBMT-E subtests requiring movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate substitute tasks for the RBMT-E's route and message subtests.
  • To provide normative data for these substitute tasks to accommodate mobility-impaired individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Developed non-ambulatory substitute tasks using readily available materials.
  • Administered parallel versions of these tasks to 111 participants in a within-subjects design.
  • Analyzed scores across different demographic subgroups (age, gender, IQ) and derived profile scores.

Main Results:

  • Successfully created and tested substitute tasks for the RBMT-E route and message subtests.
  • Established normative data for various demographic groups, including age, gender, and IQ.
  • Provided profile score transformations for the substitute tasks.

Conclusions:

  • The devised 'model' tasks are suitable substitutions for the RBMT-E route and message subtests when mobility is a concern.
  • Enables comprehensive memory assessment using the RBMT-E for mobility-impaired patients.
  • Facilitates accurate calculation of total profile scores for this population.
