Abstract The logical memory test of the Wechsler Memory Scale is one of the most frequently used standardized tests for assessing verbal memory and consists of two separate short stories each containing 25 idea units. Depois de 30 minutos para ela. A further study shows three short stories similar to each other, but these were not equivalent to the stories of the WMS. The alternative stories and scoring criteria are presented in comparison to the original WMS stories Brazilian version. Table 1 Stories translated and adapted by Camargo et al. However, until appropriate validation studies and norms for the WMS logical memory test are published in Brazil, the alternative stories and detailed correction criteria presented here may be used.

For both immediate and delayed recall, all correct items are summed giving a maximum score of 25 for each story.
The tables below may be used as scoring sheets slto each story. There are stories for memory testing created in Portuguese from Brazil, but these are not equivalent to the any of the versions of the WMS, since they are shorter and have a very different thematic structure.
Hence, the stimuli used as "models" for this study were those proposed by Camargo et al. The second point refers to the circumscribed aim of the present article, describing only the development of the stories, without testing their validity for clinical populations.
The original stories in Portuguese 14and their organization according to thematic units, can be seen in Table 1. Besides the alternative stories that are similar to the Portuguese version of the WMS-R, the material presented here also includes the additional scoring criteria gist or general themes introduced in later versions of the WMS.
Three alternative stories for each of the stories in Portuguese Ana Soares and Roberto Mota 14 were proposed by the authors following the criteria below, based on previous studies. The aim of this study was to develop a set of alternative logical memory stories to those frequently used in Brazil Ana Soares and Roberto Mota in terms of their content, structure and linguistic characteristics.
Problems with practice effects arise with re-testing a patient, as these stories may be remembered from previous assessments. Changes in memory performance are often assessed after interventions such as surgeries, 6 evolution of psychiatric disorders, 7 as well as several types of therapeutic and pharmacological interventions.

Sullivan 2 proposed six stories following similar criteria. The Appendix shows the scoring criteria for each story. The units of general themes of the female stories were guided directly by solho proposed by the WMS-III, which maintains the story equivalent to that of Ana Soares, with a total of 7 themes. Objective To present three alternative stories for each of the original stories frequently used in Brazil Ana Soares and Roberto Mota and to show their similarity in terms of content, structure and linguistic characteristics.
Because of its great value in memory assessment, the logical memory test is often used when re-testing is needed in clinical practice and longitudinal research.

Depois de 30 minutos para ela. Conclusion The alternative stories presented here correspond well thematically and structurally to joto Brazilian versions of the original stories.
This is the first step in proposing alternative versions of cognitive tasks, the second being the study of psychometric similarity between the versions in healthy participants and clinical populations.
