Mean and standard deviation for each group: control subjects (CTL) and subjects diagnosed with alcohol use disorder (AUD); Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR; Wechsler, 2001); Dementia Rating Scale (DRS-2; Jurica et al., 2001); Digit and Block Span, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R; Wechsler and Stone, 1987); Becks Depression Inventory (BDI-II; Beck et al., 1996); State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; Spielberger et al., 1983); Barratt Impulsiveness scale (Patton et al., 1995); t-tests were applied to test for group differences; statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05 (cursive).
