- Abstract
The aim of the present article is to compare two among the most complete batteries for memory evaluation in developmental age that are currently used in Italian clinical practice, the "Test of Memory and Learning, TEMA" (Reynolds & Bigler, 1995) and the "Battery for the Evaluation of Memory and Learning in Development Age, PRO-MEA" (Vicari, 2008), focusing in particular on Learning Disability; we compared the two batteries both on a theoretic level and on a practical level by administrating them to a 9 year-old child diagnosed with Dyslexia associated with mathematics difficulties. It emerges from the analysis that the 2 considered memory batteries provide information about different aspects of memory functioning and provide different results in a few memory aspects; moreover, it emerges that the most complete memory profile comes out by matching information provided by the two batteries. We suggest to choose a single memory battery in daily clinical evaluation considering the specific clinical questions of each disturbance and to integrate missing information using just few subtests from other batteries.
