Objective: To develop Auditory Verbal Memory Test (AVMT) suitable for Chinese elderly. Method:100 normal elderly and 22 patients with mild to moderate Alz heimer' s disease were evaluated by AVMT, mini mental state examination. 40 person randomly selected from the 100 sample were assessed in follow up by AVMT, Wechsler Memory Scale ( Chinese Revised Version), information and similaritias subtests of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Chinese Revised Version (WAIS- RC) . Results: The correlation between inter- raters was 0.99, test- retest reliability at 3 months interval were 0.87～0.94. Education was a prominent influence factor of memory and recognition of AVMT. There were significant correlation between third recall, short delayed recall and total scores of VMS- RC, between long delayed recall and verbal sceres of WAIS - RC. Semantic clustering strategy showed gradual strongly correlation with measures of recall ability in higher education group. Performance of Alzheimer group was poorer than that of matched normal control. Scores of long delayed re call differed most obviously in group comparison. Conclusion: AVMT had good reliability and validity%目的：编制适用于中国老人记忆评定的中文版听觉词语记忆测验(AVMT)。方法：l00例正常老人和22例轻-中度Alzheimer病(AD)患者完成AVMT和简明精神状态量表，从正常老人样本中随机选择40例完成AVMT复测和韦氏记忆测验(wMS-RC)、韦氏智力测验中文修订版的知识和相似性2个分测验。结果：(1)AVMT一致性为0.99;3个月后复测相关性为0.87～0.94;AVMT历次记忆的相关性为0.66～0.94;(2)AVMT记忆和再认的相关因素为教育程度；(3)第3次回忆和"短延迟回忆"与WMS-RC总分的相关性比其余4次回忆的强；而"长延迟回忆"和语言智力分测验得分的相关性比其余5次回忆的强；(4)AD组记忆和再认得分显著低于正常对照组，尤以延迟回忆及其语义串联得分差异最大。结论：中文版听觉词语记忆测验具有较好的信度和效度。
