Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function-Numeric Working Memory Sensitivity Index (SI)
Working memory is a sum of accuracy measures from the numeric and spatial working memory tasks (sensitivity index [SI]). Working Memory SI is based on how fast the participant responds correctly and how many are correct responses. A high score reflects someone able to hold in memory for a prolonged period. A negative change from baseline reflects impairment compared to baseline.
A series of 5 digits were presented on a computer screen, one every 1.15 seconds, for the participant to hold in memory. This was followed by a series of 30 probe digits for each of which the participant had to decide whether it had appeared in the original series of digits and press the corresponding 'Yes' or 'No' response button as quickly as possible. This procedure was repeated 2 times using 2 different series and probes. Least squares means were adjusted for baseline, period, sequence, time, treatment and treatment*time.
