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.
