3. Comprehensive Trail Making Test
4. Stroop Neuropsychological Screening Test
5. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test
6. PGI Memory Scale
Please provide the reference along with it..

Nice question. Why are you not searching yourself for it? Google is your friend.
In fact it's not a simple question since those measures can vary for the same test depending of the context of the evaluation. For exemple, a test can be very reliable in a young healthy population, but the reliability can be really poor in an elderly population with dementia... I suggest you take a look at the following book (copy-paste reference, not an APA style ref ;) ):
A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests: Administration, Norms, and Commentary

Oxford University Press; 3 edition (April 7 2006)
Good luck!
The reliability and validity of any scale will depend on the sample population in which the related (scale) tests have been acquired.
A different question is related with the 'normative' values of such scales in different populations.
If you use the scales you have to calculate the values on your samples.

Good Luck
Sarah, this is a classic graduate committee question - there is no easy way to build up the understanding they are requesting here. This is really a "meta" question. Indeed, there are several kinds of reliability and several type of validity - which do they want? Also, you do not know if published estimates will be true from one sample or population to the next. So, this is not just a question of finding a study or two for each of those measures (but that is a good start!). In general, you'll need to read up on ALL those measures - as some answers here suggest, you'll find many studies report some aspect of reliability or validity of a measure in passing - or as part of their overall results. You might approach some members of your committee who have familiarity with some of those measures and see what they have that you can READ... they may also offer up strategy on how to address this meta question for proposing and defending your dissertation with your committee. Best of luck - and do not despair!
