Abstract. This paper aims at reviewing the literature on the use of Reys Verbal
Auditory Learning Test (RAVLT) with respect to its potential contribution to
the differential diagnosis between normal aging and Alzheimers disease. We
researched articles published in the last ten years, indexed in the databases of
PubMed and Lilacs, which were designed to evaluate the use of the RAVLT
in the diagnosis of dementia, particularly Alzheimers disease. Thirty-seven
studies were selected according to the methodology outlined. Seventeen items
assessed the utility of the RAVLT test in neuropsychological assessment of de-
mentia is usefulness to differentiate AD and normal development and twenty
studies investigated the performance of normal elderly on RAVLT or how the
factors age, education and gender may influence the performance in the test. We
conclude that the RAVLT is an effective tool to assist in the differential diagnosis
between normal and pathological aging. It is necessary, however, further stud-
ies on regulation of it to evaluate the different dementia syndromes.
