This study examines the sensitivity of the University of Southern California Repeatable Episodic Memory Test (USC-REMT) to the effects of aging in a sample of 112 men and women from 18 to 93 years old. Two new recognition measures, yes-no and forced-choice, were developed to supplement the original USC-REMT which measured only free-recall. Free-recall, yes-no recognition and forced-choice recognition were sensitive to age effects, with free-recall being the most sensitive. The seven recall and recognition lists can be used interchangeably. The data indicate that the USC-REMT is worthy of consideration when there is a need for a brief, screening tool of various memory functions, particularly when there is interest in memory changes over time and repeated assessments.
本研究在112名年龄从18岁至93岁的男性和女性样本中，考察了南加州大学重复性情景记忆测试（USC - REMT）对衰老影响的敏感性。开发了两种新的识别测量方法，即是非题和强制选择法，以补充仅测量自由回忆的原始USC - REMT。自由回忆、是非题识别和强制选择识别对年龄效应敏感，其中自由回忆最为敏感。七个回忆和识别列表可互换使用。数据表明，当需要一种简短的、用于筛查各种记忆功能的工具时，尤其是当关注随时间的记忆变化和重复评估时，USC - REMT值得考虑。
