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 provides the option to choose whether to present the words only orally, only visually or both at the same time. By default, the words are presented only visually. Recall responses are always collected in written format (via textboxes). Recognition and Source Responses (part2) are collected via keyboard input. !Note: Millisecond Software also offers an alternative implementation of the Modrey with oral recall input.

It calls - Script modrey_writtenrecall_part1.iqjs - Script modrey_writtenrecall_part2.iqjs in this fixed order and transfers summary data from part1 to part2 automatically. Note that scripts 'modrey_writtenrecall_part1.iqjs' and 'modrey_writtenrecall_part2.iqjs' can also be run outside this batch script. However, in that case, no summary data transfer from part1 to part2 will take place. Add any number of Inquisit scripts in between the two parts to fill the recommended delay of 1.5h.
