Higher scores on the delayed portion of the Penn Face Memory Test (PFMT) are typically considered better. The PFMT is a psychological assessment tool used to evaluate an individual's ability to recognize and remember faces. In this test, participants are first shown a series of faces and later asked to recall or recognize those faces after a delay.
A higher score on the delayed portion of the test indicates better memory recall or recognition ability. This means that the individual was able to successfully remember and recognize more of the faces they were shown earlier, despite the delay. Conversely, lower scores suggest difficulties with face memory recall or recognition.
