| TFS | 14.88 ± 5.63 | 15.25 ± 4.72 | 0.38 (-1.29; 2.04) | 0.08 | 0.07 | 0.65 |

Values are means ± SD. Δ, mean difference between measurement after and before the intervention; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval of differences between two measurements; ES, effect size; 1-β, power of the statistical test; MMSE, Mini Mental State Examination—results described in part I mean working memory, and results described in part II mean short memory; TFS, letter verbal fluency (TFS—abbreviation in polish language); CTTI, Color Trails Test—presented data in two parts described in section “Methods”.
Bold values indicated statistical significance (p<0.05).
