Notes: The APOE4 carriers were matched to the non-carriers on the group level for age, education, gender, and verbal comprehension (VCI). To be eligible for the study, participants had to perform largely within normal limits on a battery of neuropsychological tests (see Participants section). Data represent means with standard deviations in parenthesis. VCI = Verbal Comprehension Index; CVLT LDFR = California Verbal Learning Test Long Delay Free Recall; RCFT LDFR = Rey Complex Figure Test Long Delay Free Recall; BNT = Boston Naming Test; WAIS = Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale; For the neuropsychological tests, VCI scores are scaled scores and the remaining scores are age (and education if available) corrected z-scores.
