Description of Symbolic Memory Subtest The examinee views a sequence of universal symbols for a period of 5 seconds. After the stimulus is removed, the examinee recreates the sequence using the Symbolic Memory Response Cards. Each item is a series of universal symbols for baby, girl, boy, woman, and man, depicted in green or black. Symbolic Memory is primarily a measure of short-term visual memory and complex sequential memory for meaningful material. Copyright © 1998 by The Riverside Publishing Company.

Place Stimulus Book 1 12"–18" in front of the examinee. The space between the stimulus book and the response cards is the work area. Make eye contact with the examinee, present the stimulus page for 5 seconds, and point to the stimulus figures. After 5 seconds, turn the screening page to cover the stimulus page, wave a hand over the work area and response cards, and use the open-handed shrug. After completing a demonstration item, re-expose the stimulus page to demonstrate the correct response(s). . Copyright © 1998 by The Riverside Publishing Company.

(Use the back of the response mat to cover Spatial Memory items.) For Demonstration 3 through Item 15, place Stimulus Book 1 in its easel position 12"–18" in front of the examinee, and the response mat between the examinee and the stimulus book. For each item, place the required number of cubes beside the stimulus book or response mat, expose the stimulus page, start the stopwatch deliberately, and use the open-handed shrug. After completing demonstration items, stop the stopwatch and point to the side(s) of the cube(s) and the corresponding side(s) of the stimulus design.

Description of Spatial Memory Subtest The examinee views a random pattern of green, black, or green and black dots on a 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 grid for a period of 5 seconds. After the stimulus is removed, the examinee recreates the spatial pattern with green and black circular chips on the blank response grid.

Administration at a Glance Spatial Memory Place Stimulus Book 1 in its easel position 12"–18" in front of the examinee, the Response Grid directly in front of the examinee, and the green and black response chips next to the Response Grid. For Demonstration 1 through Item 11, use the 3 x 3 grid; for Items 12–27, use the 4 x 4 grid. Make eye contact with the examinee, present the stimulus page for 5 seconds, and point to the stimulus figures. After 5 seconds, turn the screening page to cover the stimulus page, wave a hand over the response grid and response chips, and use the open-handed shrug.

Description of Object Memory Subtest The examinee is presented a random pictorial array of common objects for 5 seconds. After the stimulus is removed, a second pictorial array is presented, containing all of the previously presented objects and additional objects to serve as foils. The examinee recognizes and identifies the objects presented in the first pictorial array by placing response chips on the appropriate pictures.

Administration Gestures Open-Handed Shrugging Shrugging the shoulders with palms up and a questioning facial expression asks “What is the answer?” Palm Rolling With one or both hands out, with palms up and fingers together, the wrists are rotated toward the body so that the hands inscribe small circles in the air. This gesture indicates “Go ahead” or “You try it now.” Copyright © 1998 by The Riverside Publishing Company.

Administration Gestures Pointing Pointing with the index finger first to the relevant aspects of the stimulus and then to the examinee indicates “You do it now.” Hand Waving Moving an open hand horizontally, with palm up, over the stimulus items indicates that they should be considered as a group or as a series of options from which the examinee should choose.
