Note. Coefficients are standardized beta coefficients from linear regression controlling for age, sex, race, ethnicity, education, and language of test administration. ^a Trails A and B were multiplied by −1 to make the direction of the scoring consistent with the other tasks in this domain (i.e., higher scores indicate worse performance)
