Abstract
The current study focusses on the psychometric properties of the third, Dutch version of the
Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test. This is a neuropsychological memory battery which
originated in 2008 and was translated to Dutch in 2011. There has been some research
towards the psychometrics of this battery in different languages, but the psychometrics of the
Dutch version are largely unknown, which is why this study will focus on them. Internal
consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, convergent validity and the factor-structure were
analysed with a dataset containing 310 healthy participants. The internal consistency
reliability appeared to be acceptable. The test-retest results was considered poor. The
convergent validity when compared to the WMS-IV-NL appeared to be acceptable. The
factor-analyses revealed a 3-factor model. Overall, this research has met its goal by exploring
the psychometric properties of the RBMT-3-NL, but there are still aspects which should be
studied. Use the RBMT-3-NL, but with caution.
