Investigated performance on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) of 92 psychiatric and neurological patients classified as memory‐impaired ( N = 45) or non‐memory‐impaired ( N = 47). The groups were comparable on age and education. Relative to the non‐memory‐impaired S s, performance of the memory‐impaired patients was significantly lower on all AVLT scores, p s < 0.01. The AVLT appears to hold promise as a quick screening measure for the clinical evaluation of patients with suspected verbal learning and memory impairments.
