The original Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT) suggests a cutof global score of 10 points. However, this limit
may be too stringent for older adults attending memory training programs, particularly for those with low education levels.
This study aims to provide appropriately adjusted age and education norms for the RBMT. Data from 711 subjects were
grouped based on age (65–67, 68–71, 72–75 and 76–83) and education level (primary school, high school and university
studies). The data exhibit a clear trend of scores decreasing with age. The diminution in scores does not reach trend levels
of signifcance between neighboring (<5 years) age intervals, but it is statistically signifcant at the designated alpha level
(p=.05) when younger and older adults are compared over a range of 5 years of diference. 81.86% of our sample has global
scores below the suggested cutof of 10 points. The present study provides a more accurate representation of RBMT global
score performance in older adults for specifc age and education stratifcations.
