Group Values (mean±SD) for Number of Words and the Three CoVec Variables, among Patients with and without Derailment and Tangentiality

Number of Words Mean Similarity Coherence-5 Coherence-10
Derailment
Patients with moderate to severe derailment, n=28–31 16.23±6.52 0.496±0.063 0.559±0.043 0.480±0.053
Patients without derailment, n=127–129 19.31±5.61 0.507±0.037 0.569±0.030 0.495±0.035

Tangentiality
Patients with moderate to severe tangentiality, n=54–57 18.67±6.30 0.503±0.050 0.565±0.036 0.487±0.043
Patients without tangentiality, n=89–91 19.00±5.50 0.508±0.030 0.569±0.032 0.493±0.039

p= significance of between-group comparisons when controlling for number of words

d=Cohen’s d effect size computed using raw data rather than estimated marginal means

Note: The sample size varied among number of words and three CoVec variables since CoVec excluded animal lists with less than five or ten words generated for Coherence-5 and 10, respectively.
