EXERCISE
20
1. Which
patient scored the highest on the preoperative CVLT Acquisition? What was his
or her T score?
2. Which
patient scored the lowest on postoperative CVLT Retrieval? What was this
patient’s T score?
3. Did the
patient in Question 2 have more of a memory performance decline than average on
the CVLT Retrieval? Provide a rationale for your answer.
4. What is
the mean ( ) and standard deviation (SD) for preoperative T score for CVLT
Acquisition?
5. Is the
preoperative Retrieval T score for Patient 5 above or below the mean for the
norm of the group? Provide a rationale for your answer.
6. Assuming
that the distribution of the preoperative CVLT Retrieval T scores is normal,
the middle 68% of the patients had T scores between what two values?
7. Assuming
that the distribution of scores for the postoperative CVLT Retrieval T scores
is normal, the middle 68% of the patients had T scores between what two values?
8. The
researchers state that it appears that the functional integrity of the left
temporal lobe, despite evidence of structural abnormality, plays a considerable
role when it comes to memory outcomes following left ATL. Can the findings from
this study be generalized to a larger population? Provide a rationale for your
answer.
9. If a
patient had a raw score = 30, what would his/her postoperative CVLT Retrieval T
score be?
10. Did
patients demonstrate more postoperative memory declines among CVLT Retrieval T
scores than CVLT Acquisition T scores? Provide a rationale for your answer.
