primer buffer(lista de palabras de entrenamiento)

De la lectura en la referencia en español se deduce que el primer buffer contiene las palabras de entrenamiento. Estas no son parte del las palabras de la prueba de meta-memoria de lo se describe claramente en la referencia en inglés.

Una vez que se presentaron las 4 palabras de entrenamiento a cada participante, esta tenía que escribirlas en un folio, donde aparecía la palabra latina, y a su lado debía escribir la traducción española.

Each pair was presented equally often in a large or small font. An
additional set of six buffer pairs (three related, three unrelated) was constructed. Half of the pairs were presented at the beginning of the list and half were presented at the end of the list, equally often in a large or small font, to serve as primacy and recency buffers. These pairs were excluded from the analyses reported.

English term (edited): as a primacy buffer

de manera de orientación [inicial]

It seems as if the idea here is that the five items serve to provide a kind of introduction to the respondent as to the kinds of items involved in the test. This use of "practice items" is very common in the administration of cognitive tests, and helps assure that the individual being tested understands what is being asked of him or her.
