Table 3. Measures of long-term memory on the RAVLT and AFLT, for PD patients and controls, in both experimental sessions.
PD | Control | ||||

RAVLT | List A ON | 6.241 (0.513) | 2.171 (0.118) | 7.815 (0.602) | 2.473 (0.172) |
List A OFF | 5.931 (0.446) | 2.09 (0.136) | 7.889 (0.545) | 2.592 (0.149) | |
List B ON | 1.31 (0.217) | 1.124 (0.113) | 2.148 (0.482) | 1.453 (0.172) | |
List B OFF | 1.31 (0.244) | 0.89 (0.103) | 1.778 (0.46) | 1.487 (0.155) | |
AFLT | List A ON | 8.379 (0.609) | 2.327 (0.118) | 9.074 (0.654) | 2.381 (0.124) |
List A OFF | 7.862 (0.65) | 2.256 (0.118) | 9.222 (0.731) | 2.606 (0.121) | |
List B ON | 1.586 (0.327) | 1.249 (0.149) | 1.63 (0.321) | 1.646 (0.145) | |
List B OFF | 0.897 (0.224) | 1.069 (0.152) | 1.556 (0.33) | 1.613 (0.144) |
The mean number of items recalled out of a total of 15 for Lists A and B after delay, along with the mean d' scores, reflecting sensitivity of old-new discriminations for Lists A and B on both the RAVLT and AFLT are presented. Scores for PD patients appear separately for ON and OFF medication sessions. Control participants' data are displayed to correspond to the ON-OFF order of the PD patient to whom they were matched, although they were not treated with dopaminergic medication at any time.
