Brief Visuospatial Memory Test–Revised™

A measure of visuospatial memory, the BVMT-R can be used as part of a large neuropsychological battery, as a screening measure, and as a repeat measure to document changes over time.Reliability coefficients range from .96 to .97 for the three Learning trials, .97 for Total Recall, and .97 for Delayed Recall. Test-retest reliability coefficients range from .60 for Trial 1 to .84 for Trial 3. The BVMT-R correlates most strongly with other tests of visual memory and less strongly with tests of verbal memory.The HVLT-R/BVMT-R SP provides unlimited scoring and reporting for both instruments after hand-entry of an individual’s raw scores.Note. Stopwatch is required for administration. A comprehensive list of research articles related to the BVMT-R is available via Mendeley, a free reference management tool.

Use of this resource is encouraged to facilitate research using the BVMT-R. Both the list and the white paper are available in the Resources tab above.
