Statistically abnormal performances on derived scores

Neuropsychological test and derived scores Low values High values Interpretative considerations
5th percentile/10th percentile 95th percentile/90th percentile
Trail making test, raw difference scoreTrail making test, ratio score 16/201.53/1.69 110/884.51/3.89 Low values indicate abnormally little interference from the additional demands of TMTB; higher values suggest marked declines with the inclusion of the switching condition from TMTB.
Difference between semantic and phonemic verbal fluency −5/−3 22/19 Low scores suggest a statistically abnormal lack of benefit from semantic cueing; high values suggest abnormally large advantage for semantic fluency.
Percentage of Craft story retained 58.33/66.67 114.3/106.3 Low scores indicate statistically abnormal retention; high scores indicate infrequently high retention.
Percentage of Benson figure retained 41.18/50.00 100/94.12
Difference between percentage of Craft story and Benson figure retained −21.86/−14.15 52.43/42.04 Low scores suggest unusually greater retention of visual information than verbal information; high scores suggest unusually greater retention of verbal than visual information.
Error index 0/0 7/5 Low scores represent error free performance, which is unusual even in normal control participants; high scores suggest abnormally elevated error rates.

Note: “Low” and “high values” refer to raw score values for the derived indices.
