Repeated presentation of a word list in a consistent order increases differences in total words recalled between those with and without Alzheimer’s disease.

Key Points

• This research examines how repeated presentation of a word list affects recall differences between individuals with and without Alzheimer's disease.
• Participants received the unshuffled Consortium to Establish a Registry for AD Word List.
• Recall performance was assessed across multiple trials.
• Comparisons made between participants with and without probable AD.
• Individuals without AD showed higher recall advantage than those with probable AD.
• Recall advantage increased significantly from Trial 2 to Trial 3.
• Findings suggest that repeated immediate word list presentations may better distinguish cognitive performances.
