Abstract
Nine hundred and forty-three children (487 boys and 456 girls, age range 8 to 17 years, divided into 10 age cohorts) were administered the Hebrew version of the Rey AVLT. Separate norms for boys and girls in each age group are reported. Sensitivity to age for 14 memory measures extracted from the Rey AVLT was analyzed. One of the most consistent findings across the different scores is that memory changes in the 8- to 10- year-old age range are more dynamic than changes in the 11- to 17- year-old age range. The results also show a significant and consistent advantage for girls over boys on most of the verbal memory measures. Detailed analyses of sensitivity to age of the different measures extracted from the Rey AVLT provide very useful information for the diagnostician testing auditory-verbal memory in children.
