Validating a set of Verbal‐Paired‐Associates word‐pair lists for Repeat, Remote, Automated Testing

Verbal‐Paired Associates (VPA) is a widely used memory task, typically administered by a trained rater, with lists of pairs of words learned over up to three attempts, followed by delayed recall. Automated scoring and administration could enable remote testing to monitor change over time but requires parallel forms of the test with equivalent psychometric properties. Here we describe the validation process and memorability characteristics of a group of 12 parallel forms of automated VPA.
