Table 1. Calculation of neuropsychological measures.

Attention Function Operational measure
Sustained attention SD of RT
Selective attention [3*(8*RT8/Acc8+16*RT16/Acc16+31*RT32/Acc32)-(8+16+32)* (RT8/Acc8+ RT16/Acc16+ RT32/Acc32)]/[3*(82+162+322)-(8+16+32)2]
Orienting of attention Task score RT = [RT(Invalid)-RT(Valid)]/[(RT(invalid)+RT(valid))/2]]
Cue Benefit RT = [RT(Neutral)-RT(Valid)]/[(RT(Neutral)+RT(Valid))/2]]
Cue Cost RT = [RT(Invalid)-RT(Neutral)]/[(RT(Invalid)+RT(Neutral))/2]]
Executive attention [(RTDirincong/AccDirincong+RTLocincong/AccLocincong)-(RTDircong/AccDircong+RTLoccong/AccLoccong)] /[mean(RTDirincong/AccDirincong+RTLocincong/AccLocincong, RTDircong/AccDircong+RTLoccong/AccLoccong)]

Note: RT = reaction time; Acc = accuracy; SD = standard deviation; numbers 8, 16, 32—denote display sizes in the selective attention task; Dir = direction subtask; Loc = location subtask; Cong = congruent; Incong = incongruent.
