The BRB-N and WMS-R were administered. Results. Using the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) and 10/36 Spatial Recall Test (10/36 SRT) Total Immediate recall, che BRB-N had a sensitivity of 93 % and specificity of 48 %. Conclusion. The BRB-N is sensitive at detecting memory impairments, although its specificity is low.
