  • Significant limitations were identified, including issues with initial validation, verbal recognition test ceiling effects, and inadequate documentation regarding educational level impact.
  • Crucially, no reliability data (test-retest or inter-examiner) were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Warrington's Recognition Memory Test, in its current state, has considerable limitations.
    • These limitations, particularly concerning validation and reliability, restrict its utility for routine neuropsychological assessment.
    • Further development and validation are recommended before widespread clinical adoption.
