Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Verbal Short Term Memory

    Verbal short term memory is measured through the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. Each trial has a max total score of 12 (range of 0-12), and the max total score for all three trials is 36 (range of 0-36). However, the data listed below is reported in the form of a t-score, with a higher score representing better verbal learning. These t-score values are normalizing the scores to populations, comparing them to a representative sample, with a mean of 50.
