Group | n | Age (Years) | Educ. (Years) | Sex | Chron. (Months) | Lat. | Lesion Volume (mm3) | TMT-A | MI | Rey AVLT: T5/Recall | Token test | BDI | IPI (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BDa | 29 | 60.0 (11.9) | 13.4 (2.2) | 10F/19M | 37.0 (43.3) | 7L/9R/13B | 56,507 (54,627) | 34.6 (13.2) | 100.1 (14.7) | 12.2 (2.4)/9.5 (3.2) | 41.6 (4.3) | 5.8 (5.3) | 52 (19) |
NC | 19 | 63.6 (7.1) | 14.6 (1.9) | 13F/6M | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | 65 (18) |
Notes: Means and standard deviations (in parentheses) are reported for demographic and neuropsychological variables. Note, neuropsychological variables and lesion-specific measures (laterality and chronicity) were only available for the lesion patient groups. There were no significant differences between NC and BD groups in age (t(46) = 1.31, p = 0.20) or education (t(46) = 1.83, p = 0.07), but there was a significant difference in sex (p = 0.02).
Abbreviations/variable descriptions: B, bilateral; BD, participants with brain injury; BDI, Beck Depression Inventory-II; Chron., chronicity or time between lesion onset and experimental testing in months; F, female; IPI, Imaginal Processes Inventory–daydreaming subscale percentage score; L, left; Lat., laterality of lesion; M, male; N/A, not applicable; NC, healthy comparison; R, right.
Neuropsychological data were not available for all mPFC participants from Bertossi and Ciaramelli (2016). Specifically, these participants were missing data for: TMT-A (n = 2); WMI (n = 6); Rey AVLT T5/Recall (n = 6); Token test (n = 3); BDI (n = 1).
