Note. Statistical comparisons were made using the Kruskal–Wallis Test or an ANOVA as appropriate. Transformed proportions derived from the percent accuracy scores were used for all percentages. A weighting factor was required for this analysis as some healthy control subjects did not have 20 re-presented famous faces. Therefore, the N size for this variable is based on the number of observations rather than number of subjects. n.s. = non-significant.
