The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning test uses a list-learning format to examine verbal abilities including immediate memory, efficiency of learning, effects of interference, and recall following short and long delay periods. Participants are read a list of 15 words aloud by the person administering the tset. The entire test takes 10-15 minutes to administer and includes five presentations of a 15 word list (list A), followed by a free recall of a second word list (list B). Finally there is a sixth recall trial of the first list (List A). The test may also assess delayed recall with a seventh recall trial administered after a 20-30 minute delay. Recognition is tested by asking which of 30 words wre read aloud from list A and which were not. The words are read at a rate of one word per second. The overall goal of the task is to repeat all of the words the participant can remember in any order.
