Measures of time and latency are reported in milliseconds. Note that parallel forms were used when available. Normed scores (z-scores) are calculated for clinical mode tests (BLC, SOC, and SWM) and are presented when available.
%: percent change from pretreatment to posttreatment (note percent differences that were significant at P < .05 are bolded; t values and significance values reported within the text); SD: standard deviation; EDS: extradimensional shift; ES: effect size (Cohen's d); BLC: big circle/little circle; RTI: reaction time; DMS: delayed matching to sample; PAL: paired associates learning; PRM: pattern recognition memory; IED: intradimensional/extradimensional shift; SWM: spatial working memory; SOC: stockings of cambridge; AGN: affective go/no-go; VRM: verbal recognition memory.
aNot included in MANOVAs for their respective domains due to lack of variation in measures (BLC, DMS, IED, and VRM measures) or inability to obtain a measure for the item in the majority of cases (SOC mean subsequent thinking time measures). Note these SOC measures showed changes in the expected direction, indicating at least numerical improvement for those who had a nonzero value for the measure (i.e., their movement time was less than their thinking time).
bApproached significance (P = .06).
cNote that percent change was not calculated for the verbal recognition memory tasks of immediate free recall total novel words, immediate free recall total perseverations, immediate recognition total false positives, and delayed recognition total false positives due to the limited number of values other than 0.
