Interviewer Instruction: IF 'No' OR OTHER QUERY, PLEASE ONLY RE-READ FROM THE TEXT PROVIDED PRESS 1 AND ENTER TO CONTINUE

Text: Next, I am going to say a letter of the alphabet, and I want you to say as quickly as you can all of the words that you can think of that begin with that letter. For instance, if I say 'B', you might give me 'bad, battle, bed' and so forth. You may say any word at all except proper names of people or places, like 'Barbara' or 'Boston'. Also, do not use the same words again with a different ending, such as 'bake' and 'baking'. Often people think of a few words and then draw a blank. If this happens, just keep trying. You will have only one minute to do this, so please do not use your time to make other comments to me. Keep trying to think of words until the minute is up. Is this clear?
