Table 3. Comparisons in terms of choice behavior and betting behavior between MS patients and controls in the CGT.
Controls (n = 38) | MS patients (n = 72) | p-values (Wilcoxon) | |
Choice behavior | |||
Quality of decision making | 98±0.5 | 95±0.8 | z = 2.44, p = 0.01* |
Deliberation time (ms) | 1934±541 | 2413±905 | z = −3.34, p = 0.005* |
Betting behavior | |||
Risk taking | 0.60±0.09 | 0.58±0.1 | z = −1.16, p = 0.24 |
Risk adjustment | 1.6±0.7 | 1.4±0.9 | z = −1.1, p = 0.28 |
Msec = milliseconds. Values are means ± standard deviation (SD). P-values reflect non parametric comparisons.
reflects significant difference. After correction for type 1 error, alpha was set at.025 for choice behavior (2 Items) and for betting behavior (idem).
