| Abstract | This paper reports the results of the recent standardization of the Japanese version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (the Japanese version of the RBMT). The test has 4 different versions to avoid the practice effects by repeated administrations. It was proved to be a valid and reliable measure for everyday memory problems. It also has the merit of being quick and easy to administer and interpret; it is acceptable to patients and families because of its good face-validity; and it is applicable to a wide range of settings. |
| Keywords | the Japanese version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test, everyday memory problems, rehabilitation of memory dysfunction |
