Editorial note

  • The test begins with learning a first list of 16 words from four semantic categories (List A) over five trials. Words from the same category are not presented consecutively. At the end of each trial, the subject is asked to recall the words freely. A new list of words (List B) is then learned and freely recalled in a single trial. This interfering list contains new words belonging to two semantic categories present in List A, while the others belong to two new categories. The test continues with a free recall and a cued recall of List A (the names of the categories serve as a retrieval cue). Finally, after a 20-minute delay, List A is again tested with a free recall task, a cued recall task, and finally a yes/no recognition task.
