Table 2.

Comparison of cognitive test scores for Healthy Controls (n = 52) and Breast Cancer Survivors (n = 52).

	Healthy Control		Breast Cancer		p	Effect Size	Percent BC Sample Impaired^b
	M	SD	M	SD	p	Effect Size	Percent BC Sample Impaired^b
AVLT Sum Recall (41)^a	52.4	8.1	48.5	7.2	0.01	0.53	17
AVLT Delayed Recall (6)	10.9	2.8	9.6	2.8	0.02	0.45	17
Digit Span (12)	17.7	4.1	17.8	4.0	0.89	−0.03	2
Symbol Digit (39)	54.1	10.4	53.6	8.2	0.79	0.05	6
COWA (24)	42.2	12.4	38.2	10.9	0.08	0.35	12
Squire SRS (68)	102.9	22.6	92.9	17.9	0.01	0.49	14

Note. BC = breast cancer survivor, AVLT = Auditory Verbal Learning Test; COWA = Controlled Oral Word Association; SRS = memory Self-report Scale.

Raw score corresponding to the 7^th percentile (or 1.5 SD below the mean) of HC performance is listed in parentheses.

For each test, the frequency of impairment in the BC group was calculated as the percent of BC participants scoring below the 7^th percentile (or 1.5 SD below the mean) of the HC distribution.
