Comparison of verbal fluency scores among groups

					log BF compared to controls
	Controls	ICI	Acute	Progressive	ICI	Acute	Progressive	log BF progressive versus acute
Animals raw score	16.62 (5.33)	15.13 (5.15)*	15.29 (5.23)*	14.31 (4.62)*	4.34	2.79	2.69	−0.27
Animals speed score	8.54 (3.56)	7.26 (3.29)*	7.41 (3.37)*	6.49 (2.72)* a	9.19	6.34	6.54	0.50
Letter F raw score	11.63 (4.51)	10.78 (4.69)*	10.70 (4.63)*	11.17 (4.97)	1.15	1.40	−0.74	−0.74
Letter F speed score	4.89 (2.57)	4.25 (2.55)*	4.25 (2.59)*	4.26 (2.51)*	3.08	2.73	0.18	−0.92

Abbreviations: BF, Bayes factor (presented as the base‐10 logarithm due to extreme variation); ICI, incident cognitive impairment.

^* P < .05; a indicates P < .05 compared to acute decliners.

Note: log BF > 0 suggests at least weak evidence for effect, > 1 suggests strong evidence for effect, < 0 suggests at least weak evidence against the presence of an effect, < –1 suggests strong evidence against the presence of an effect.
