Measures

Numerous measures exist to gain a full picture of a student's learning strengths and challenges. Following are examples of measures used to assess this Learner Factor. These measures should be administered and interpreted by experienced professionals.

Working Memory Rating Scale (WMRS): (Alloway et al., 2009): A behavior rating scale for teachers to use based on behavior patterns typically observed in students five to eleven years old with poor Working Memory skills

Corsi Block or Block Recall: (Pickering & Gathercole, 2001): Measures visuospatial Working Memory using taps on a set of blocks that participants replicate in reverse order
