This study aimed to describe the results of a standardization study of some neuropsychological tasks for memory assessment. In relation to the methodology, this study had a sample size of 208 healthy college students from Manizales, with no associated neurological or psychiatric pathology. The instruments used were the Rey auditory verbal learning test, the Rey complex test, the serial auditory test Pattern and Benton visual retention test. In relation to the analysis plan, it can be said that the validity of appearance was worked through expert judgment; Content validity was worked using factor analysis; The validity of concurrent criterion, through the correlation coefficient; The internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient; Consistency related to the time of application by the proportion of hits and consistency related to the application by different evaluators, using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Prior to the analyzes the normality of the data was determined using the Shapiro Wilk test. The comparison between the mean scores of men and women was done using the U of Mann - Whitney or Student ‘s t, and finally we obtained the scores for each one of the tests included in the research. Among the results it was found adequate validity of appearance, content and concurrent criteria were evidenced for the different memory tests used. As well as high levels of internal consistency, pretest - post reliability, and reliability related to the application of the different evaluators for the tests that were used.
