Location Learning Test

The Location Learning Test - Revised Edition (LLT-R): An administration and scoring manual.


The Location Learning Test can be used to measure episodic spatial memory for object locations.




Description: The Location Learning Test - Revised (LLT-R) assesses spatial memory. Spatial memory is highly relevant for everyday functioning, as it enables us to remember the location of objects in our environment and to navigate. Spatial-memory deficits are often found in dementia and other forms of amnesia, but may also occur as a result of more focal brain injury (like a stroke).

Montreal Protocol for the Evaluation of Communication (MEC) Manual

The Montreal Evaluation of Communication (MEC): A clinical test of communication. Use the MEC to assess communication in your patient with right hemisphere stroke or damage to the frontal lobes.


Description: The Montreal Evaluation of Communication (MEC) is a clinical test to evaluate language and communication ability in people who have problems with communication in the absence of aphasia such as patients with right hemisphere stroke or damage to the frontal lobes.  The MEC kit comprises a manual, a stimulus book, response booklets and informant questionnaires along with audio-files.  MEC is designed to provide speech pathologists and neuropsychologists with the means to examine the capacity of their patient to use language to communicate effectively. It assesses higher order language problems including the ability to use and understand lexico-semantic processes, metaphor and pragmatic inference and prosody.  Even without a frank aphasic disorder, these kinds of impairments can impact negatively on social and interpersonal functioning and result in reduced social opportunities and quality of life.

The Comprehensive Assessment  of Prospective Memory (CAPM)

Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory (CAPM): A measure of memory for future intentions after brain injury.

Use the CAPM to evaluate everyday prospective memory performance in clients with brain impairment due to traumatic brain injury or stroke.


Description: The Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory (CAPM) is a questionnaire designed to evaluate prospective memory function in people with brain injury. Remembering to perform intentions at a future point in time, or prospective memory, is essential for safe independent living and employability. The CAPM measures the frequency of prospective memory failures, the amount of concern they cause, and the reasons for memory lapses. Self-report and significant other versions of the CAPM can be compared to determine the patient’s level of self-awareness for memory impairment.  A detailed manual explains how to use the assessment and its established psychometric properties including normative data.  Neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and other rehabilitation professionals can use the CAPM to understand the nature and extent of prospective memory problems in their patient’s daily life. The CAPM can provide a person-centred basis for goal setting prior to memory rehabilitation and a means of evaluating the effectiveness of memory interventions.
