Alternate forms of selective reminding for children

Two alternate forms of Selective Reminding were constructed according to criteria suggested by Kraemer, Peabody, Tinklenberg, and Yesavage (1983). The new forms, as well as the four-footed-animal version, were administered to 55 children aged 9- to 12-years-old from middle and lower socioeconomic groups. The two new forms were equivalent on two dependent measures of the Selective Reminding test. The results suggest that the two new alternate forms are equivalent and reliable for clinical use.
