Note: Memory measures are from the California Verbal Learning Test – Short form (CVLT).
a
CVLT scores are raw scores, except for cued retrieval and recognition retrieval, which are z-scores, since they involved subtraction of measures using different metrics.
b
Group comparisons used the Mann-Whitney U test due to the skewed distributions of these variables.
