Doors & People Kit

The Doors and People Test is an instrument designed for the assessment of long-term explicit memory in children and adults. It helps clinicians and researchers gain a detailed understanding of memory functioning by providing separate measures of visual and verbal memory, recall, recognition, and forgetting. This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates analytic evaluation of long-term memory and allows them to tailor interventions based on specific memory profiles.

The accompanying manual offers adult and child normative data collected from individuals aged 5 years 1 month through 16 years 1 month, as well as adults, enabling flexible use across diverse settings such as neuropsychology, education, and mental health.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive Scoring: Yields an overall age-scaled score and unpacked measures for visual/verbal memory, recall, recognition, and forgetting

• Dual Usage: Designed for clinical assessment and research applications

• Detailed Memory Profile: Offers a more analytic overview than broader everyday memory tests

• Wide Normative Range: Includes child and adult norms for flexible use across ages and settings

Key Features:

• Visual Recognition: Memorize coloured photos of doors, tested by recognition among similar distractors

• Visual Recall: Copy and reproduce patterns from memory over multiple learning trials and delayed recall

• Verbal Recognition: Read and recognize names from sets of four items

• Verbal Recall: Learn and recall names of four people with delayed recall to assess forgetting

• Child Norms Included: Normative data for children ages 5 to 16 alongside adult norms for comprehensive interpretation
