The ModRey is a test of episodic memory performance in non-clinical and pre-clinical populations. It differs from the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) by increasing its difficulty. Specifically the authors a) increased the number of items for the target and distractor lists from from 15 to 20 b) decreased the number of learning trials from 5 to 3 c) added an additional free recall trial of distractor list d) added a source memory task The original ModRey presents the words orally and collects oral responses. This Inquisit implementation presents the words orally and collects soundcaptures of the spoken recall responses. These soundcaptures have to be manually scored for accuracy. Recognition and Source Responses (part2) are collected via keyboard input. !Note: Millisecond Software also offers an alternative implementation of the Modrey with written recall input and the option of oral and/or visual word presentation. Written recall in those scripts is captured via textboxes that are scored by the script automatically. //References// Hale C, Last BS, Meier IB, Yeung LK, Budge M, Sloan RP, Small SA, Brickman AM.

Once the list has finished, participants are asked to recall as many of the list words as they remember, in any order. The list learning/immediate recall task is repeated 2 more times. //(2) Introduction of Distractor List:// Then participants are distracted with distractor list B (one time). //(3) Free Recall of List A:// After listB, participants are asked to recall all words from list A (list A is not presented anymore) ------------------End of part1---------------------------------------- //(4) Delay: 1.5h// ///////////////////////////////////////////// ///////Script modrey_part2.iqjs://////// ///////////////////////////////////////////// //(5) Delayed recall of List A// - participants work through through a delayed recall test of list A //(6) Delayed recall of List B// - participants work through through a delayed recall test of list B //(7) Recognition Test (List A) - 66 trials// -target words are list A words; -distractors are phonetically similar and list B words //(8) Source Test:// List A and List B words are presented in fixed order and participant has to decide the words' source list (A or B) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default setup of this script takes about +/- 10 minutes ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA OUTPUT DICTIONARY ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fields in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'modrey_oralrecall_part1_raw*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant)* build: The specific Inquisit version used (the 'build') that was run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) date, time: date and time script was run subject: with the current subject id group: with the current group id session: with the current session id blockCode, blockNum: the name and number of the current block (built-in Inquisit variable) trialCode, trialNum: the name and number of the currently recorded trial (built-in Inquisit variable) Note: trialNum is a built-in Inquisit variable; it counts all trials run; even those that do not store data to the data file such as feedback trials. Thus, trialNum may not reflect the number of main trials run per bloc (parameter) list: target list A (parameter) form: form 1 countIR: counts the number of immediate recall trials run countAllRecallRounds: counts the number of ALL (immediate + delayed) recall trials run stimulusItem: the presented stimuli in order of trial presentation stimulusNumber: the itemnumber of the presented stimuli in order of trial presentation response: the participant's response //Note: soundcaptures are stored latency: the response latency (in ms); measured until 'continue' button is pressed (2) Summary data file: 'modrey_oralrecall_part1_summary*.iqdat' (a separate file for each participant)* inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startDate: date script was run startTime: time script was started subjectId: assigned subject id number groupId: assigned subject group id sessionId: assigned session id number elapsedTime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) (parameter) list: target list A (parameter) form: form 1 or form 2 ///NOTE: if not explicitly mentioned, all summary variables refer to list A performance recallScoreIR: needs to be manually computed recallScoreSDFR: needs to be manually computed recallScoreIRListB: needs to be manually computed //Immediate Recall ACCURACY// ir1: needs to be manually computed ir2: needs to be manually computed ir3: needs to be manually computed ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (I) 3 blocks: List Learning/Recall Task with list A (IR1-IR3) - the words are presented with a 2s SOA (editable) - the order of the words is predetermined and the same across all 3 blocks - at the end, a recall prompt appears (self-paced) (II) 1 block: List List Learning/Recall Task with list B (IR_listB) - the words are presented with a 2s SOA - the order of the words is predetermined and the same across all 3 blocks - at the end, a recall prompt appears (self-paced) (III) 1 block (after delay): Free Recall Task with list A (SDFR) after a short delay - enter words into a textbox (self-paced) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ STIMULI ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ uses the words of the ModRey (Hale et al, 2019) (words were pronounced with Google Translate and saved as .wav files) can be run with version1 stimuli (see modrey_items_form1.iqjs) can be run with version2 stimuli (see modrey_items_form2.iqjs) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ are provided by Millisecond Software - see script "modrey_oralrecall_part1_instructions_inc.iqjs" ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDITABLE CODE ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc. Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment. The parameters you can change are: //Timing Parameters: / soa = 2000 //stimulus onset asynchrony (in ms): the words are presented roughly //2s apart / sdfrDelayMS = 60000 //short delay (in ms) of the SDFR free recall of list A / finishTrialDurationMS = 60000 //the current duration (in ms) of the finish Trial.
