Abbreviations: PCA, principal component analysis; FNAME, Face Name Associative Memory-cued first letter; MMSE-DR, Mini–Mental State Examination delayed recall subscore; FAS, verbal fluency under phonemic constraint to letters F-A-S; ANT, verbal fluency under categorical constraint (animals); MMSE-attention, Mini–Mental State Examination attention subscore.
NOTE. PCA was conducted using varimax with Kaiser Normalization. Factors with eigenvalues greater than 1, with a maximum iteration of 25, were extracted—factor loadings shown after orthogonal rotation.
NOTE. PCA 3 rotation converged in 3 iterations. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy = 0.75.
NOTE. Owing to missing data for FNAME and Logical Memory tests added to the protocol at a later date, alternate factor-based scores for the traditional memory domain were calculated leveraging the most available data (i.e., average of MMSE-DR and Logical Memory when FNAME was missing). This factor-based score is noted as MEMT1 and is considered in certain analyses by clinical group.
