Shown are Spearman partial correlations, adjusted for education. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, bold values indicate significance. The number of participants playing each game varied due to patient dropout. aMoCA scores without correction for low education. bCould not be computed because one of the variables was constant. RT: reaction time; MoCA: Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
