  • VIQ, PIQ, FSIQ, Verbal, performance, and full-scale IQs, respectively, from the WAIS-R or the WAIS-III. Face discrimination, Discrimination of faces from the Benton Facial Recognition Task (normal for all subject groups; a score of 43 corresponds to the 30th percentile). Note that n values add up to >108, because some subjects had lesions that included more than one neuroanatomical region.
