  1. Neuropsychological scores are presented as Mean ± Standard Deviation (M ± SD). WASI = Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence, scores are presented as intelligence quotients (M = 100, SD = 15). The T-scores are age, gender and education corrected scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10). Abbreviations are as follows: IQ = Intelligence Quotient; NAART = North American Adult Reading Test; and WCST = Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.
