Background: The California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) is a standardized measure that assesses learning over repeated trials, immediate recall, and delayed recall. This test consists of 16 items from four different categories. The CVLT also measures the memory strategy of “semantic clustering”– one’s ability to organize information to be learned into their super ordinate categories to facilitate recall. Brain imaging is a vital tool to measure associations between cognitive function and cortical thickness.
