The correlation coefficient of parallel-forms in subtest scale and meory index were all more than 0.65. There were six main fac-tors extracted, which explained 64.47%of the accumulated variance, those were novel task learning, spatial memory, verbal memory, visual memory, prospective memory and orientation/date.
