Note. Higher scores on Digit Symbol Copy indicate worse performance. Final analytic samples with complete baseline outcome and covariate data were speed of processing training (n=690), reasoning training (n=679), memory training (n=692), and control (n=686). Est. = Unstandardized Estimate, CI = Confidence Interval, SE = Standard Error.
