Question 1

A neuropsychologist assesses a patient before and after a six-month rehabilitation programme following surgery for a brain tumour. The same Wechsler Memory Scale is used on both occasions. For each memory function, a standard score from 90 to 110 is typical for the patient's age.

Memory functionBefore rehabilitationAfter rehabilitation
Verbal memory9697
Visual memory6784

The patient reported low mood during the first assessment but not during the second assessment. The neuropsychologist concludes that rehabilitation restored the patient's visual memory, while their verbal memory was unchanged.

Evaluate the use of the standardised memory test results to reach this conclusion.
