“…Thus, to ensure the highest possible N, corresponding tests from the two batteries were standardized separately (Z-scores) before combining to cover nine cognitive domains: Fine-motor speed, psychomotor processing speed, mental processing speed, attention, verbal learning, verbal memory, semantic fluency, working memory and cognitive control . We have previously shown robust between-battery correspondence of test performance for SZ, BD and HC (Sæther et al, 2024). The cognitive batteries consisted of tests from the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) (Nuechterlein et al, 2008), Halstead-Reitan (Klove, 1963), the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III) (Wechsler, 1997), Delis Kaplan Executive Functioning System (D-KEFS) (Delis et al, 2001), the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT-II) (Delis et al, 1987), and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) (Benedict et al, 1998).…”
