Note:
= difference between groups, p < .05; VCI = Verbal Comprehension Index (WAIS-IV), WMI = Working Memory Index (WAIS-IV), CVLT II= California Verbal Learning Test - II, RCFT = Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, BNT = Boston Naming Test. Norms for the WAIS are from the manual (Wechsler, 2008). Norms the CVLT-II are from the manual (Delis et al., 2000). Norms for the RCFT are from Fastenau and colleagues (Fastenau et al., 1999). Norms for animal fluency, BNT, and Trail Making Test are from Heaton and colleagues (Heaton, Miller, Taylor, & Grant, 2004).
