PANAS=Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, CVLT = California Verbal Learning Test, GCS= Greene Climacteric Scale. Higher scores on Current Memory Functioning, Frequency of Forgetting Seriousness of Forgetting, Retrospective Functioning and Mnemonics Usage relate to fewer problems or complaints within that domain. High values on the PANAS signify more mood states being endorsed. Higher scores on CVLT and Digit Span signify better performance. Higher values on the GCS signify more bothersome symptoms.
