abstract = "Free and Cued Selective Reminding (FCSR) differs from Selective Reminding (SR) because of a study procedure which controls cognitive processing and a reminding procedure which allows for cued recall. Performance on FCSR and SR was compared in two studies to determine which test produces better recall and to identify the factors that account for the superior recall. When the tests were administered to very elderly normal subjects using the standard clinical protocol, twice as many words were retrieved from long-term memory in FCSR than SR. The second experiment, which manipulated study and reminding conditions in a younger sample of normal elderly, suggests that the improvement in free recall was due to the study procedure and the method of reminding.",

note = "Funding Information: FCSR differs from SR by the inclusion of a study procedure that controls attention and cognitive processing, requiring subjects to search for items (e.g., grapes) in response to category cues (e.g., fruit). The same cues are later used to elicit recall of items not retrieved by free recall. These procedures ensure attention and promote deep semantic processing in the encoding phase. They also coordinate the conditions of encoding and retrieval to increase encoding specificity (Schacter & Tulving, 1982; Tulving & Thomson, 1973). The addition of the study procedure represents a departure, not just from SR, but from virtually all clinical memory tests. Controlling cognitive processing through a study procedure is especially important in elderly patients because otherwise age-associated cogni- * This work was supported in part by the Teaching Nursing Home Award, National Institute on Aging Grant AG03949, and a doctoral training award from the Alzheimer's Society of Canada.
