Mild/moderate and severe cognitive impairment were defined as performances ≥1.5 and ≥2 standard deviations below published age-adjusted normative means. Hence, 7% of normative control group participants would be expected to produce a score in the mild/moderate range of impairment on any single cognitive test, and 2% would be expected to produce a score in the severe range of impairment on any single cognitive test.
