Document Summary
Items are represented in a random order with instructions to recall the words in any order. it after a few trials and to use the categories to facilitate recall. List a consists of furniture, vegetables, means of travelling, and animals. List b consists of means of traveling, animals, musical instruments, and parts of buildings: following five trials with list a, the interference of list b is read to the subject, cvlt-ii scores. Intrusions and repetitions are scored and subtyped according to noncategory or category characteristics, and further into synonym/subordinate intrusions and across-list intrusions. Both proactive (intrusions from list a into list b recall) and retroactive (from list b into delayed recall and recognition trials) interference can be documented as scores: test characteristics. Cvlt performance declines with age, most rapidly in the later years. Older persons make fewer hits and more false alarms on recognition testing than younger adults.
