AbstractAnalyzed data from the administration of the Rey AVLT to 232 general hospital patients according to age and type of diagnosis and influences of these variables on learning, recall and recognition.

Younger, higher educated and more intelligentSs have better recognition, whereas better learning is associated with only education as a factor. Analysis of these results was made in the context of storage system theory with further implication
