BVMT-R
Also written as: BVMT-R — Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised
Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised, assessing visual-spatial learning and memory through geometric figure recall.
Full Definition
The Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) is a neuropsychological assessment tool designed to evaluate visuospatial learning and memory through the reproduction of abstract geometric designs. The test consists of three learning trials where patients study and then draw six geometric figures, followed by a delayed recall trial after 25 minutes and an optional recognition trial. The BVMT-R provides standardized scores for learning, delayed recall, and recognition, making it useful for detecting visuospatial memory deficits in various neurological conditions.
Usage
Usage note: Include the 'R' to distinguish from the original BVMT version.
