Abstract
Neuropsychological assessment was conducted with 140-forensic inpatients who were assessed for competence to stand trial. Higher CVLT: Trials 1-5 and WCST: Learning 2 Learn scores were related to adjudicated competence, highlighting the importance of repeated exposure to material, particularly simple information paired with feedback. Implications for restorability programs are discussed.
