  • Publication number: 20150216414
    Abstract: Assessing acquisition of information related to a stimulus can be accomplished by providing a stimulus, recording a free recall response in natural language of the stimulus by a subject, and determining automatically a similarity. The similarity is between the recorded free recall response and a database comprising one or more control responses associated with the stimulus. A higher similarity indicates greater information acquisition by the subject. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.
