Question 6

A neuropsychologist has used the Wechsler Memory Scale with two adults from the same age group. An administrator suggests adding each adult's immediate and delayed verbal memory scores and reporting only one total for each adult.

For this age group, the typical score on each measure is 100. A score below 80 is unusually low.
