Full Definition
The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) is a brief neuropsychological test designed to assess verbal learning and memory using a 12-word list across three learning trials, followed by immediate and delayed recall, and recognition testing. The test provides multiple alternate forms to minimize practice effects and includes normative data for various demographic groups. The HVLT-R is particularly useful for detecting memory impairments in conditions such as dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and other neurological disorders affecting hippocampal and temporal lobe functioning.
Usage
