Means and standard deviations in parentheses are reported. Subjective cognition was assessed by 16 items. Participants were asked to indicate how well they coped with the requested skills. They used a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (very poorly) to 100 (very well). The requested skills were derived from dimensions of episodic and implicit memory, executive functions, attention and working memory. The overall mean served as a proxy of general subjective cognitive performance.
