Paradigm overview

Delayed Recall measures verbal episodic retention after an encoding phase and delay interval. Participants study a word list, optionally complete immediate recall, wait through the configured delay, and then type the words they remember.

The task reports delayed correct recall, immediate recall when collected, retention rate, intrusions, and word-count summaries. Raw typed recall is retained so researchers can independently review and re-score responses.

Key scoring outputs

Delayed Recall

count

Number of expected list words recalled after the delay interval.

Higher is better

Immediate Recall

count

Number of expected list words recalled immediately after study.

Higher is better

Retention Rate

proportion

Delayed recall divided by immediate recall when immediate recall is available.

Higher is better

Intrusion Count

count

Unique recalled words that are not in the expected word list.

Lower is better

Delayed Word Count

count

Total words typed during delayed recall.

Research FAQ

Common questions about this online cognitive test

Can I run the Delayed Recall Module online?

Yes. ConductCognition runs the Delayed Recall Module in a browser-based participant flow with study setup, automated scoring, and export-ready results.

What does this test measure?

Delayed Recall Module is used for delayed episodic recall, retention, verbal memory research workflows.

What data can researchers export?

Researchers can export scored results, and paid plans support trial-level exports for deeper analysis.

Is this for clinical diagnosis?

ConductCognition is for research use. The platform supports task delivery, scoring, and exports; clinical interpretation remains outside the platform.
