Performance (Mean(Standard Deviation)on the Repeated Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) for each COMT genotype and estradiol group. Group differences were found for the main effect of estradiol group on the RBANS total score and the Visuospatial/Constructional factor score that showed the low etradiol group performed better than the high estradiol group on these measures (ps < .05).
