The WAIS-III and the WMS-R indices yield a mean score of 100 in the normal population with a standard deviation of 15. The WMS-R does not provide scores for individuals who score below 50. Therefore, the six scores below 50 were scored as 50 for calculating the group mean. 

WAIS-III, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–III (Wechsler 1981); WMS-R, Wechsler Memory Scale–Revised. MTL+, patients with large medial temporal lobe lesions and variable damage to the anterolateral temporal lobe; H+, patients with damage limited to the hippocampal region and, for H.C. and P.H., some additional damage to parahippocampal gyrus.
