The UP-WMST 2.0 contains the same 15 WMS items as the original UP-WMST but has an adaptation of the scoring method. Test-retest reliability was estimated in 30 participants. Content validity was assessed through floor and ceiling effect analyses. Construct validity was assessed through hypothesis testing. Preliminary estimates of responsiveness were assessed in 23 participants who participated in a WMS training program.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Test-retest reliability analysis showed weighted Cohen kappa coefficients ranging from 0.63 to 0.98 for all but 1 item. The total UP-WMST 2.0 score had an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.97. No floor or ceiling effects were detected. Independent-sample t test analysis confirmed our hypotheses regarding direction and difference in scores between age and diagnostic groups. Within-group analysis in the responsiveness study showed a positive significant change in UP-WMST 2.0 score (8.3 points).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The small sample size used in the responsiveness study was a limitation of this study.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study provided evidence of the test-retest reliability, content, and construct validity of the UP-WMST 2.0.
