Datafile
Index term
Question asked in the latest wave:
cogabrelease_w3.wrintpre
Question label:
Word recall interviewer preamble
Question text:
I'll read a set of 10 words and ask you to remember as many as you can. We have purposely made the list long so that it will be difficult for anyone to remember all the words, most people remember just a few. Please listen carefully as I read the set of words because I cannot repeat them. When I finish, I will ask you to recall aloud as many of the words as you can, in any order. Is this clear?
Question universe:
if WrdRecPref REF | HearComputer REF (Resp hasn't refused test at Word Recall Preamble or at HearComputer)
and if ReadTest = 2 (If list read out by interviewer)
Question interviewer instructions:
IF ‘NO’ OR OTHER QUERY, PLEASE ONLY RE-READ FROM THE TEXT PROVIDED. OTHERWISE, CONTINUE
