  • Title: Comparability of the GMI and DMI for the WMS-III.
    Author: Ryan JJ, Glass LA, Bartels JM.
    Journal: Appl Neuropsychol; 2007; 14(2):84-7. PubMed ID: 17523882.
    Abstract:
    This study compared the new Delayed Memory (DMI) with the General Memory (GMI) index of the WMS-III using 134 inpatients with substance abuse disorders. The WMS-III Immediate Memory Index (IMI) and the GMI are not parallel because the latter includes Auditory Recognition Delayed. A solution to this dilemma is the DMI, in that it directly parallels the original IMI. The GMI and DMI scores were highly correlated, r = .98, and mean values differed by<1 point (90.77 and 90.66, respectively). Difference score comparisons (i.e., IMI-GMI with IMI-DMI and FSIQ-GMI with FSIQ-DMI) yielded similar results (ts<1). Case-by-case analyses demonstrated concordance rates of 99% for the IMI-GMI and IMI-DMI comparisons and 94% for the FSIQ-GMI and FSIQ-DMI contrasts.
