Interviewer instructions
To the interviewer: • Read the respondent instructions below. First start with an example. Stop if the respondent is not able to deal with the 3 examples, and go to Part 5. • Read numbers at a regular pace (one number in second) and try not to group them with your intonation. Make sure the respondent is not able to see the list of numbers on your sheet. • Note after each series the result of the memory test. • If the respondent has 3 consecutive wrong answers, end the test and go to the next question.
