Table 1. HML040’s neuropsychological performance.
Note: Standardized scores from the subtests and indices of the WAIS-IV and WMS-IV are scaled scores and index scores, respectively, and derived from the published norms. Z-scores are reported for all general semantic (except Pyramids and Palm Trees), executive function, autobiographical memory tests. Both fluency tests, Boston Naming Test-II, and Trails z-scores were based on norms from Heaton et al., 2004. The z-score for Cambridge Naming Test was calculated using a different, unpublished control sample of healthy middle age and older adults (N = 32). For Pyramids and Palm Trees, percent correct is reported in the standardized score column and a score of >90% is considered within normal limits (WNL) per published norms. The normative sample for the Autobiographical Memory Interview (N = 34) comes from Kopelman et al., 1989.
