Normative values of the Rey Word Recognition Test in college athletes.

Improved detection of sport-related concussions can be enhanced by performance validity tests, such as the Rey Word Recognition Test (WRT). The WRT is brief and in the public domain but no norms exist for healthy college-athletes. The present study identified such normative values in a large college-athlete sample.
