Test-specific differences in verbal memory assessments used prior to surgery in temporal lobe epilepsy.

CONCLUSIONS: The construct structure of the two verbal memory differs. It was shown that the RAVLT correlated with visuospatial memory, whereas the CDT did not. The study highlights that there are important nonoverlapping features regarding verbal recall of the two tests, indicating that these tests cannot fully replace one another.
