  1. The Designs subtest of WMS-IV measures memory for:

    Answer: Spatial location and content of visual designs

    Designs assesses memory for both the content and spatial location of visual figures on a grid.

  2. Spatial Addition in WMS-IV is best described as a measure of:

    Answer: Visual-spatial working memory

    Spatial Addition requires mentally manipulating spatial information, tapping visual-spatial working memory.

  3. Which factor could artificially lower a Visual Reproduction score without indicating a memory problem?

    Answer: Poor fine-motor or drawing ability

    Because the task requires drawing, motor difficulties can reduce scores independent of memory.

  4. An examinee adds details to a recalled story that were never presented. This is called:

    Answer: Intrusion/confabulation

    Adding non-presented content during recall is an intrusion or confabulation error.

  5. WMS-IV is co-normed with which intelligence test to allow ability-memory comparisons?

    Answer: WAIS-IV

    WMS-IV is co-normed with the WAIS-IV, enabling comparison between IQ and memory.

  6. A clinician wants to assess whether a patient learns visual material across trials. Which subtest is most relevant?

    Answer: Designs

    Designs presents visual figures across learning trials, showing visual learning.

  7. Practice effects from prior WMS-IV testing are best minimized by:

    Answer: Allowing adequate time between administrations

    Leaving sufficient time between testings reduces inflated scores from practice effects.
