Description
Logical Memory is an interviewer-administered test that is a part of the Wechsler Memory Scale®, Fourth Edition (WMS®-IV). The interviewer reads the respondent a story and asks the respondent to repeat details of the story from memory. The test can be performed as both an immediate and delayed recall. The protocol includes scoring instructions that account for specific versus paraphrased details.
Specific Instructions
Logical Memory is a proprietary subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale®, Fourth Edition (WMS®-IV). Each WMS-III or WMS-IV subtest is a part of a complete WMS-III/IV assessment and is not sold separately. To administer a subtest requires a licensing agreement from Pearson. Researchers should complete and return an application to pas.licensing@pearson.com. The current fee for each subtest use is $1.25 each-subject to a minimum licensing fee.

Protocol
Immediate Recall
The examiner reads the respondent a short (4-5 lines) story and then asks them to recall details about the story. If the respondent is unable to recall any details or after they have finished providing details, the examiner prompts them to determine if they can recall any additional information.
Delayed Recall
After a predetermined amount of time, the examiner asks the respondent to remember any details they can recall about the story. If the respondent is unable to recall any details or after they have finished providing details, the examiner prompts them to determine if they can recall any additional information. After all details are obtained, the respondent is asked multiple choice questions about the story content.

Definition
An interviewer-administered test that measures the ability of the respondent to recall words and spoken items.
Purpose
This measure tests a respondent’s total range of function with respect to verbal memory. It is therefore more specific and sensitive than a measure of global mental status and can be used to assess major problems in verbal memory as well as minor variations that may be a consequence of normal aging.
