Schematic representation of partial least squares correlation analysis (PLSC). The correlation matrix between the financial capacity assessments and neuropsychological tests was subjected to singular vector decomposition. The association between the two latent variables after partialling out chronological age represents the pattern of interindividual differences in financial skill ability that shares the largest amount of variance with interindividual differences in overall neuropsychological performance.
