The most detailed and comprehensive information for each edition of the CVLT can be found in the corresponding test manual: CVLT-C Manual, CVLT-II Manual, and CVLT3 Manual. Each manual provides an overview of the test, descriptions of each condition and score, and detailed information on administration and scoring, calculating the raw scores, and deriving normative scores. Information on the theoretical underpinnings, development and standardization, reliability, validity, and interpretation are also provided. In addition, the CVLT3 manual provides an overview of the use of demographic adjustments to the CVLT3 norms.

Editions of the CVLT have been used in multiple research studies incorporated into thousands of published articles. The CVLT-C has been used to assess memory functioning in typically developing children, children with acquired disorders, such as brain tumors and injuries, and children with neurological disorders, such as epilepsy. The CVLT-II has been used to examine memory functioning in typically developing and aging adults, individuals with degenerative diseases, such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia, individuals with acquired injuries, such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, individuals with psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, and other populations with suspected or known memory disorders. It is expected that more research on the CVLT3 will become available as the revision is more widely used. Rapid Reference 1.10 provides basic reference and publication information for the CVLT-C, CVLT-II, and CVLT3.
