  1. Values are shown as mean ± SD (range)
  2. *Cohen’s effect size d, defined as the standardized difference between two means, is considered large when d ≥0.8. Effect size for comparing normals with cognitively impaired subjects is the average of the last two columns and it is the difference between them for the comparison between MCI and dementia subjects
