Abstract

Background and Aim: Auditory memory is the ability to receive, process, and store the verbal provocations and eventually remind what is heard. The pivotal role of auditory memory in the development of necessary skills, such as learning, remembering words, understanding and applying grammar and written language and the necessity of clinical assessment has led to numerous studies and development of instruments in this area. One of the most common approaches in the study of memory is using neuropsychological and behavioral tests. So far, many tests are developed for memory evaluation, such as California, Hopkins, and Rey among which Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test is the most authoritative test..
Conclusion: According to the current survey, age, education level, gender, intelligence, cultural and linguistic factors are known as important impact factors in Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test results.
