CDR, Clinical Dementia Rating Scale; FAQ, Functional Activities Questionnaire; HKLLT_I (z), intrusion errors in the Hong Kong List Learning Test in terms of z-scores; CFT_I (z), intrusion errors in the Category Fluency Test (CFT) in terms of z-scores; CFT_P (z), perseveration errors in the Category Fluency Test in terms of z-scores.
Higher scores indicate more significant problems/difficulties.
Performance scores at least 1.0 SD below average at baseline in intrusion and perseveration errors are presented. Positive changes after tPBM indicate better performance.
