Test‐retest reliability, practice effects and reliable change indices for the recognition memory test

Although modest, the test-retest reliability of the RMT is no worse than those reliabilities reported for other commonly used recall memory tests. Thus, the inherent clinical advantages of using a recognition paradigm make its use desirable. Usage of different versions of the RMT enables us to avoid practice effects. However, the RC indices indicate that large changes in scores are needed to detect a significant improvement or decline in an individual's performance.
