ABSTRACT
Memory assessment is one of the principal objectives of neuropsychological evaluation. Therefore one would expect a considerable degree of sophistication on the part of the professional performing these assessments, both in the approach to the phenomena of memory and in the assessment of the procedures they select (Loring & Papanicolaou, 1987). However, since the clinical and research functions of clinical neuropsychology have moved away from establishing the cerebral localization of lesions and brain functions, it is more important to find practical methods of assessing implicit and explicit everyday memory performance in the laboratory (Loring & Papanicolaou, 1987) both for subjects with major and minor brain dysfunctions.
