Now available! Our new In-Person e-Stimulus Books and Kits are convenient, more hygienic alternatives to paper administration that allow you to administer the ChAMP face-to-face via tablet. Be sure to download our new white paper prior to administering.

The ChAMP is an easy-to-use, examiner-administered test of memory for use with children, adolescents, and young adults that allows both in-depth memory evaluation and memory screening.

Features and benefits

  • Simple to use yet comprehensive: Covers core verbal, visual, immediate, and delayed memory domains with only four subtests.
  • Easy to administer: A single form contains all administration instructions. One stimulus book is the only other component needed for administration.
  • Common, real-life scenarios and colorful, developmentally appropriate stimuli are engaging and relevant to young examinees.
  • Administration time is approximately 35 minutes, with no additional delay time required; the Screening Index takes about 10 minutes.
  • No motor response required.
  • Focused on learning—each subtest has multiple learning trials.
  • A built-in validity indicator alerts the clinician to potentially invalid scores.
  • Includes discrepancy scores, reliable change scores, a base-rate analysis of low scores, and a strengths and weaknesses analysis.
  • Provides case examples and intervention recommendations for both home and school.

Test structure

  • Includes two verbal memory and two visual memory subtests; these combine to yield an overall score, the Total Memory Index.
  • Additional Index scores reflect performance in visual and verbal memory and immediate and delayed memory.
  • The Screening Index, comprising one verbal and one visual subtest, is useful for brief memory screening.
  • Includes discrepancy scores, reliable change scores, a base-rate analysis of low scores, and a strengths and weaknesses analysis.

Technical information

  • Standardized using a large normative sample of more than 1,200 participants representative of 2012 U.S. Census statistics.
  • Conormed with the Memory Validity Profile (MVP) and the Multidimensional Everyday Memory Ratings for Youth (MEMRY).
  • Clinical sample includes more than 200 children with learning disability, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, brain injury, and intellectual disability.
  • Supported by strong evidence of reliability and validity.
