TOMAL-2 provides the most comprehensive coverage of memory assessment currently available in a standardized battery. This assessment permits a direct comparison across a variety of aspects of memory in a single battery. This allows the assessment of strengths and weaknesses, as well as potentially pathologic indicators of memory disturbances. This nationally standardized test evaluates general specific memory functions using eight core subtests, six supplementary subtests and 2 delayed recall tasks.
TOMAL-2 is useful for evaluating children or adults referred for learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, neurological diseases, serious emotional disturbances and ADHD.
Administration: Time: Core Battery - 30 minutes; Core Battery plus Supplementary - 60 minutes
Ages/Grades: Ages: 5-0 through 59-11
Sport-Related Concussion Specific:
Advantages: TOMAL-2 provides the most comprehensive coverage of memory assessment currently available in a standardized battery. This assessment permits a direct comparison across a variety of aspects of memory in a single battery. This allows the assessment of strengths and weaknesses, as well as potentially pathologic indicators of memory disturbances. This nationally standardized test evaluates general specific memory functions using eight core subtests, six supplementary subtests and 2 delayed recall tasks.

| Scoring |
Scores/Interpretation: Core Indexes include: Verbal Memory, Nonverbal Memory and Composite Memory. Supplementary Indexes include Verbal Delayed Recall, Learning, Attention and Concentration, Sequential Memory, Free Recall and Associative Recall. Includes standardized or scaled scores and percentiles. Subtest scaled scores appear as M = 10, SD = 3. Composite scores and indexes are M = 100, SD = 15.
