  • Title: Connecticut Pictorial Learning Test: a pictorial version of the California Verbal Learning Test.
    Author: Stevens MC, Fein DA, Markus E.

    Abstract:
    This paper describes the development of a pictorial version of the California Verbal Learning Test. The new instrument, named the Connecticut Pictorial Learning Test (COPLT), was tested in two experiments. The first experiment involved selection and testing of new verbal stimuli to be adapted for pictorial use. Results suggest that these new items are approximately equivalent in difficulty to the original CVLT stimuli. These stimuli can serve as CVLT alternate Form III for use in clinical verbal memory research. Recall means and standard deviations are provided for the new stimulus set with a young adult sample. The second experiment explores the psychometric properties of the new COPLT after stimuli were translated into pictorial form. The psychometric evidence suggests that the pictorial test has good internal consistency and concurrent validity with widely-used clinical memory tests. Furthermore, verbally-mediated information processing serves successful pictorial learning and subsequent recall performance in normal healthy control subjects when verbally-encodable pictorial stimuli are used. The use of semantic organization appears to be even more important for optimal performance using pictorial stimuli than with verbal stimuli. Scoring rules for the COPLT are included in the Appendix.
