1. Which patient scored the highest on the preoperative CVLT Acquisition? What was his or her T score? Pt. 3 had a pre-op CVLT score of 63. The T score was 50. 10x47.8/5.8+(50-10x47.8/5.8)
10x47.8=478 478/5.8=82.41 50-82.41= -32.41 -32.41+82.41=50
2. Which patient scored the lowest on postoperative CVLT Retrieval? What was this patient's T score? Pt. 4 had a post-op CVLT retrieval score of 23. 10*47.8/5.8+(23-10*47.8/5.8
10x47.8=478 47.8/5.8=82.41 23-82.41= -59.41 -59.41+82.41=23
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. Yes, because the average patient CVLT retrieval was 39.29. 668/17=39.29
4. What is the mean ( ) and standard deviation (SD) for preoperative T score for CVLT Acquisition? Mean = 788/17=46.35 SD =98.6/17= 5.8
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. Below because the pt’s score is 33.4 {10x52/5.8+[50-(10*52/5.8)]} and the average is 47.8 according to table 3.
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? 46-50
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? 37-58
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. Yes, because the alpha values were not to be excluded.
9. If a patient had a raw score = 30, what would his/her postoperative CVLT Retrieval T
