| Annotation | A population-based telephone survey of 1,845 people aged 40 to 95 in Bradley County, Arkansas was carried out as part of the Rural Aging and Memory Study (RAMS). The 10-item word lists used included that used in the telephone interview of cognitive status (TICS) as a criterion standard, and two newly developed lists. Mean age of participants was 61.05 years; 39.5% were aged 65+; 78% had completed high school; 66% were women; and 21% were African American. There was no difference in demographic characteristics between groups receiving different word list versions. Overall, the two RAMS word recall lists and the TICS word recall list can be used interchangeably in telephone assessment of memory of middle-aged and older people. This finding is important for future studies where parallel versions of a word-list memory task are needed. (RH). |
