Preferred term

Self-Initiated Memory Test  

Definition

  • A neuropsychological test of verbal episodic memory for the elderly in which the person chooses the words to remember. This strategy "ensures that the item is well known to the person, that it corresponds to his or her culture and level of education. It also ensures that the person is attentive during the encoding phase and throughout the test, as he or she has to choose the word to remember on each trial. Finally, this method can be more motivating, even playful, since no item is imposed on the subject and he or she can choose the word that suits him or her best" (Noel et al., 2004).
