Working Memory Domain

We formed a composite measure of of the cognitive domain working memory by converting raw scores on each cognitive test to z scores, using the mean and standard deviation of the cohort, and then averaging the z-scores to yield the composite.

The following 3 cognitive tests are used to compute this score:

Test scoreZ-scoreCognitive test name
cts_dfz_DFDigits forward
cts_dbz_DBDigits backward
cts_doperfz_DOperfDigit ordering

Item level variables are available upon request.

Note: The variable is calculated if more than half the z-scores are non-missing.
