PRMQPROXY.EXE
This PC program (PRMQPROXY.EXE) accompanies the paper by Crawford, J.R.,
Henry, J.D. Ward, A. L., & Blake, J. (2006). The Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ): Latent
structure, normative data and discrepancy analysis for proxy-ratings” British
Journal of Clinical Psychology, 45, 83-104. (pdf)
The PRMQ (Smith et al, 2000) is a memory rating scale and is available
in self-rating and proxy-rating versions. The program is for use with the proxy-rating version (click
here for a program
for use with self-rating version). The program takes an individual's raw proxy-rating
scores on the Prospective and Retrospective scales as input and provides T
scores, estimated true scores, and 95% confidence limits for all three scales.
It also tests whether the discrepancy between the Prospective and Retrospective
scales is reliably different, and records the estimated percentage of the
population that will exceed the observed discrepancy (i.e., it addresses the
issue of whether the discrepancy is rare/abnormal). In addition to being a
quick and convenient means of scoring and analysing the PRMQ, the program
also helps to avoid clerical errors.
