Interviewer instructions

INTERVIEWER: For the following tests, digits forward and backward, say the digits at the rate of one per
second, not grouped. Let the pitch of your voice drop with the last digit of each series. In any series if the
subject fails Trial 1 - give Trial 2 of the same series, then proceed to the next series if the respondent responds correctly. Trial 2 is only given if Trial 1 is failed.
INTERVIEWER: Wait for correct response "1-2". If correct, start with Series 3. If response is incorrect, provide the correct response and attempt once more with another example. Okay, let's try another example, repeat after me, "5-3". If correct, continue. If not correct - mark "0" in Q2534 and è skip to Verbal Fluency (Q2536).
