  1. HVLT: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. WAIS-III: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III. Zoo map: Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome Battery. Raw correct test answers were used as variables, except in the case of Parcel Delivery where the number of actions needed was computed (the lower the number, the better the performance). PESCO tests are shown in bold.
