 One Word Learning Task

Administration Time (in healthy volunteers): 5 Minutes

Cognitive Domain Usually Measured: Verbal Learning & Memory

Task Description:  

The pre-task on-screen instructions ask: "Have you seen this word before in this task?"

A word appears in the middle of the screen. As soon as it does the subject must decide whether or not the same word has appeared in this task before. Therefore the first answer has to be "No". The next word will be presented on the screen. The subject must decide whether they have been shown that word before in this task and respond by pressing the "Yes" or "No". If an incorrect response is given an error noise is heard.

The subject should be encouraged to work as quickly as they can and they should try and remember the words correctly.
