I am trying to find tests of: a) Verbal Speed, b) Numerical Speed, c) Verbal Reasoning. However, I do not have access to the WAIS, or the DAT-V tests (which, as far as I am aware, are the primary tests used to measure these constructs). If anyone knows any other tests which are free to use (apart from citing the publisher), please could you let me know.
Thanks in advance.
For verbal speed, you can use the Benton Controlled Oral Work Association test. Also the digit Symbol Digit Modalities Test. Numerical speed could be measured simply by asking the patient to count backwards from 20. More than 10 seconds is slow for a normal adult. There is also the Paced Serial Addition Test or the math fluency subtest of the Woodcock Johnson. Verbal reasoning could be measured by just using the WAIS Similarities test of the MOCA.
Your may find phonemic and semantic fluency tasks and norms described in Strauss, Sherman & Spreen (2006) A compendium of neuropsychological tests.
