California Verbal Learning Test

The California Verbal Learning Test is an assessment used to determine verbal learning skills and memory deficits in children between the ages of 5-16, by identifying individual learning techniques and adaptations. This test gives information about how quickly a child learns new information as well as their short-term memory and long term memory retention and retrieval capabilities. The ability to recall and use verbal cues is another component of this measure. It can be used to diagnose learning deficits and aid in choosing the best treatment option for these deficits.
