What does Incorrect Recall mean?

• A. Patient accurately repeats all presented words.
• B. Patient fails to repeat all words accurately.
• C. Patient repeats some words correctly but not all.
• D. Order of words affects recall.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is recall accuracy across the entire list. Incorrect Recall means the person does not reproduce the list exactly as presented; there are errors or omissions. So the best description is that the patient fails to repeat all words accurately. If they recall everything perfectly, that’s correct recall. If only some are correct, or the order matters but not the accuracy, that still doesn’t meet the criterion of full accuracy, which is why the other options aren’t the right fit.
