Wechsler Memory Scale | Fifth Edition

WMS-5
The forthcoming Wechsler Memory Scale® Fifth Edition (WMS®-5) is the most advanced psychometric measure of adult memory. It is an individually administered clinical instrument for assessing immediate, delayed, and recognition memory across auditory and visual perceptual modalities, as well as visual working memory. The WMS®-5 was codeveloped and co-normed with the WAIS®-5, expanding construct coverage, increasing flexibility, and allowing comparison of performance across the two tests.
