Now you can compare memory and learning to ability, attention, and achievement. The Children’s Memory Scale™ (CMS) fills the need for a comprehensive learning and memory test for children ages five to 16.
Multiple Uses
- Plays a vital role in assessing learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders
- Helps to plan remediation and intervention strategies for school and clinical settings
As a screener or diagnostic instrument, CMS measures learning in a variety of memory dimensions:
- Attention and working memory
- Verbal and visual memory
- Short- and long-delay memory
- Recall and recognition
- Learning characteristics.
Links for Valuable Comparisons
- WISC®–IV, WISC®–III, and WPPSI™–R
Serves as a process skills screening instrument
For children with learning disabilities, diagnosed with TBI, ADHD, epilepsy, cancer, brain tumors, or strokes.
Interpretive Information
Includes extensive interpretive information, strategies for intervention based on a child’s CMS
score and pattern of performance.
Efficient administration
- 20 minutes for the six core subtests
- 10 to15 minutes for the long-delayed memory test
- 30-minute break during which you can administer other verbal or nonverbal measures
Features
- Eight index scores
- Minimal item bias
- Fairness to all children
- Extensive clinical validation studies for those special groups
Benefits of CMS on Q-interactive
- Create custom batteries by combining subtests from the CMS with other tests such as the WISC-V.
- Standardize administration and simplify the management of CMS materials so you can focus on what is important – the examinee.
- Automatically score items based on grid placement, to streamline administration
- Obtain scaled scores immediately after finishing a subtest, to increase speed and accuracy.
