Perceptual speed
Perceptual speed domain - Average of 4 tests

We formed a composite measure of the cognitive domain perceptual speed 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 4 cognitive tests are used to compute this score:

Test scoreZ-scoreCognitive test name
cts_sdmtz_SDMTSymbol digits modality test (oral)
cts_nccrtdz_NCcrtdNumber comparison
cts_stroop_cnamez_cnameStroop color naming
cts_stroop_wreadz_wreadStroop word reading

Item level variables are available upon request.

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