The present study examined the validity and reliability of the RBMT-CV in a group of participants with stroke (n = 86). The results showed good face validity of assessing everyday memory problem, high inter-rater reliability and correlations between scores of different parallel versions. High value of Cronbach's alpha (p = 0.859) demonstrated excellent internal consistency. Test-retest reliability was high (t = -3.4, p = 0.002). The concurrent validity of RBMT-CV, through correlation with its scores with that of the Chinese version of Mini Mental Status Examination, was well established (rho = 0.86, p = 0.000). Predictive validity of RBMT-CV was demonstrated by Spearman's rho (rho = 0.415, p = 0.012) through follow-up study of stroke patients, and correlation of memory function with their functional status, as measured by modified Barthel Index (MBI). | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10397/18980 | ISSN: | 0731-7115 | DOI: | 10.1300/J018v24n03_04 |
