often say something like, "There's a 10-20 percent
chance of rain tomorrow," meaning there's not much
chance that it will rain. Using the same idea, what
do you think the chances are that it will be sunny
tomorrow?

sunny weather, and "100" means a 100 percent chance
and you may say any number in between.)

C3. I'll read a set of 20 words and ask you to recall
as many as you can. We have purposely made the list
long so that it will be difficult for anyone to
recall all the words -- most people recall just a
few.
Please listen carefully as I read the set of words.
When I finish, I will ask you to recall aloud as
many of the words as you can, in any order. Do you
have any questions?
PROBE AS NEEDED FOR UNDERSTANDING OF TASK AND
WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE.
READ THE ITEMS AT A SLOW, STEADY RATE AS THEY COME
UP ON THE SCREEN, APPROXIMATELY ONE WORD EVERY TWO
SECONDS.
C4. Now please tell me the words you can recall.
PERMIT AS MUCH TIME AS R WISHES -- UP TO ABOUT 2
MINUTES. RECORD RESPONSE ON THE COVERSHEET.
REMAIN IN THIS SCREEN UNTIL DONE.
