I think the question is very general, and therefore impossible to answer. I recommend that you focus on a type of memory, and a particular problem, and then look for ways to measure it.

I generally use several tests to evaluate the same cognitive area:

Memory for short and long-term verbal I use various tests:

- Tale

- 15 Words Rey

- Free and cued selective reminding test (FCSRT)

- Rey Complex Figure

- Ecological memory

To evaluate the attention, there are many tests that explore different types of attention, usually use:

- Attentional matrices

- Digit Symbol test (SDT)

- Multiple features target cancellation (MFCT)

As for the evaluation of reaction time, I mean speed of information processing, and the one I use is the making A trial but also attentional matrices perform such a function, but from a different angle because they are typically used to evaluate selective attention.

Dear Nisha

Madam,

Your question contains three part, i am answering the memory part of the question.

Now a days many scientific technologies are present and use as per the needs of the few of them are:

1. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)  (intriguing implications for the study of memory in humans)

2. Single-unit recording (measures action potentials and can be used in a variety of animals)

3. Cortical Cooling (new technique that allows for a temporary disruption of function in a chosen area of the brain)

4. The neurotoxic lesion technique (proven to be essential for studying the neural basis of behavior and memory)

These techniques usability also depends upon the types of memory choosen to measure.

So, choose one as the best suited to you research needs.

Happy Researching...

Dear Mam

MAS (Memory Assessment Scale) by Williams is also available.

Please find the manual as attachment.

Hope you find it helpful for your research work.

Actually, I am preparing a test for cognitive capabilities. Memory, attention and reaction time are some of the dimensions of cognitive capabilities, I wanted to know whether these should be assessed with some scientific instrument.  The instruments available in psychological labs are confusing me   further. 

You could use a lateralized task design and measure lateralized components of the event-related potential (ERP). The contralateral delay activity (CDA) component is a standard maker of working memory research and it is strongly sensitive to attention; it is furthermore correlated with behavior (e.g. Vogel & Machizawa 2004; Nature; Vogel, McCollough & Machizawa, 2005, Nature).

Dear Nisha,

regarding your rather widespread (?)  interest in the general relation of "cognitive abilities" (áka "intelligence"?), "attention", and "memory", maybe the following paper (see below) and some of the various assessment methods utilized by the respective authors will be useful.

To Nisha and others who might be interested:

please find attached an authors' copy of the Unsworth, Fukuda, Awh & Vogel paper I recommended yesterday.
