Patient’s performance on the tests of the memory battery; references are also reported from which normative data, adjusted scores, and centile scores were derived

TestPatientMaximum score possible
*The performance score on the Supraspan spatial learning test is expressed as the logarithmic transformation of the probability of casually reproducing in the correct order the sequence of blocks (or only chunks of it) proposed by the examiner (see Spinnler and Tognoni,42 page for details).
