Overall Memory Impairment Identification with Mathematical Modeling of the CVLT-II Learning Curve in Multiple Sclerosis

Figure 3

The averaged learning curves over all healthy participants and MS patients. Empty triangles—Healthy female participants; 𝐵2 = 0.70; 𝐵3 = 7.63; 𝐵4 = 14.38. Filled triangles—MS female patients; 𝐵2 = 0.72; 𝐵3 = 6.35; 𝐵4 = 12.44. Empty down triangles—Healthy male participants; 𝐵2 = 0.47; 𝐵3 = 5.90; 𝐵4 = 13.58. Filled down triangles—MS male patients; 𝐵2 = 0.64; 𝐵3 = 5.66; 𝐵4 = 10.86. 𝐵3 is higher in healthy females versus healthy males (𝑃=.0016). 𝐵3 (𝑃=.0019) and 𝐵4 (𝑃=.0018) is higher in healthy female participants versus MS female patients. 𝐵4 is higher in healthy male participants versus MS male participants (𝑃=.006). 𝐵3 (𝑃=.006) and 𝐵4 (𝑃=.002) is higher in MS female patients in comparison with MS male patients.
