Computerized Neuropsychological Assessment in Aging: Testing Efficacy and Clinical Ecology of Different Interfaces

Table 4

Results show correlations coefficients (upper values in cells) and statistical significance (lower values in cells) between each AVLT recall session (i.e., IR-1, IR-2, IR-3, and DR) and sociodemographics (age and education) and cognitive index (MMSE) variables tested. The left most panel of table shows statistics belonging to the group tested with verbal version of the AVLT while the rightmost panel shows statistics belonging to the group tested with the visual version of the task.
