  1. Note: + = percentage of clinical group, med = median (range), * = mean score =100 and SD score = 10 because the mean and SD of the controls was used to standardize the data for each individuals performance on each cognitive task. One way ANOVAs indicated significant differences between groups on age, premorbid IQ, and depressive symptoms, all p’s < 0.001. MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination; CDR-SB = Clinical Dementia Rating Scale, Sum of Boxes Score; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
