You see a list of words on the screen on at a time, and try to remember them. The words are shown for three seconds each.

Then a series of word is shown one at a time. Half the words are ones you saw in the first list, the other half are new words. You press  YES response key if the word was in the first list, a NO key if not.

The word recognition part of the test can be done immediately (short-term recall) or after an interval filled with other activities (long-term recall)

This test can be run on a Java-enabled mobile phone.
