Objective: To compare performances of Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS) and Clinical Memory Scale(CMS), to explore applicability of WMS and CMS in the different degree traumatic brain injured patients. Methods: 206 patients were tested with WMS and 300 with CMS, and completed clinical diagnosis for all, to compare the performances. Results: ① There was no significant differences in the MQ between the two groups in the normal?marginal memory impairment, there were significant differences in the mild memory impairment. ②There were remarkable variance between the MQ and the clinical diagnosis, WMS was even more variant. Conclusion: ①There is similar outcome between WMS and CMS in the patients with normal?marginal memory impairment, CMS shows more applicable in the patients with more severe mem - ory impairment. ②It is not correct to diagnose memory defect degree with MQ without more clinical information.
