Paradigm overview
Short Story Recall measures verbal episodic memory using a brief narrative followed by free recall and recognition questions. The participant reads a language-matched story, types what they remember, then answers multiple-choice recognition items.
The task is useful when researchers need a self-administered verbal memory probe that can run in English or Italian with exportable raw recall and recognition data.
