The BD group performed significantly poorer on the delayed recall condition of the RCFT compared with the non-BD group. This is consistent with the results of previous studies (Scaife and Duka, 2009; Squeglia et al., 2009; Winward et al., 2014), which found visual memory deficits in binge drinkers. The delayed recall condition of the RCFT is a measure of information retention and retrieval abilities (Shorr et al., 1992; Meyers and Meyers, 1995). Hence, the present result suggests that binge drinkers may have visual memory deficits, particularly in terms of the retention and retrieval of visual information.
