Note. ALF = accelerated long-term forgetting; NART = National Adult Reading Test; WASI = Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence; WMS-III = Wechsler Memory Scale-III; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. WMS-III Logical memory % retention = (delayed recall/immediate recall) × 100; numbers in parentheses after test name = maximum score on that test.
