HVLT=Hopkins Verbal Learning Test; AVLT=Auditory Verbal Learning Test; RBMT=Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test; UFOV=Useful Field of View; MMSE=Mini-Mental Status Exam; Visuospatial=Visuospatial Processing Speed. Some memory tests were modified for group administration (AVLT, RBMT), and all memory tests employed audiotape administration, written responses by participants, and no delayed trials.

UFOV tasks: Task 1 required the participant to identify a target of either a truck or a car that is presented at a central fixation point on the screen. Tasks 2 and 3 were more complex as they required the participant to identify a target of either a truck or a car that is presented at a central fixation point on the screen as well as identify the location of a peripheral car that appeared in one of eight locations both without (Task 2) or with (Task 3) distracter triangles. Scores were recorded based on the minimum stimulus duration in which the participant responded correctly 75% of the time.
