Name	Description
Direct
Total recall	The sum of correct words recalled on trial 1, 2, and 3.
Short-delayed recall	The number of correct words on trial 4.
Long-delayed recall	The number of correct words on trial 5.
Recognition discrimination index (RDI)	the number of true positives minus the number of false positives in the recognition trial.
Derived

Long-delayed recall percent retained (LDR percent retained)	The number of words recalled in trial 5 divided by the higher of trials 2 or 3.
Semantic clustering (Stricker et al., 2002)	The number of times a correctly recalled word was followed by another correctly recalled word appearing in the same semantic feature was divided by the number of correct recalled per trial.
Serial clustering (Stricker et al., 2002)	The number of times a correctly recalled word was followed by another correctly recalled word appearing in the same list order divided by the number of correct recalled per trial.
Perseverations	The sum of repetition words recalled on trial 1–5.
Intrusions errors	The number of words recalled that were not HVLT-R stimuli on trial 1–5.
