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.
