Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Memory impairment screening is crucial in pediatric populations.
  • Existing adult memory tests require adaptation for child assessment.
  • The Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT) is a validated tool for adult memory evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a children's version of the RBMT.
  • To assess the feasibility of using an everyday memory test with young children.
  • To establish the test's reliability and correlation with cognitive abilities in children.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a children's version of the RBMT with four parallel forms.
  • Administration of the adapted RBMT to 85 children aged 5-10 years.

  • Concurrent assessment using the British Ability Scales and Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children-Revised.

    • Main Results:

    • The adapted RBMT demonstrated feasibility for children as young as 5 years.
    • Performance correlations varied by age group, linking to intelligence and digit span scores.
    • The test shows potential for monitoring memory changes in children.

    Conclusions:

    • The children's RBMT is a viable tool for assessing everyday memory in young children.
    • The findings support the use of this adapted test in clinical and research settings with pediatric populations.
    • Further validation with atypical populations is warranted.
