Summary: Intelligence was average and reading ability was commensurate. Visuospatial abilities were average. There were deficits in verbal episodic encoding, although verbal episodic retrieval and visual memory were intact. There were deficits in set-shifting and processing speed. Selective attention was intact. There were deficits in naming. Letter and category fluency were intact.

b

All scores are raw, unless otherwise indicated.

Interpretations are based on normative data accounting for age and education level. Percentile conversions are as follows: very superior >98%; superior, 91%-97%; high average, 75%-90%; average, 25%-74%; low average, 9%-24%; borderline, 2%-8%; and impaired <2%.
