  1. Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus (OCS-Plus). This table can be used to calculate impairment cut offs. Processing speed is impaired if an individual Z-score is greater than 1.65 SDs from the mean, whereas the remaining tasks are impaired if an individual’s Z-score is lower than − 1.65 SDs from the mean. Asterisks reflect UK only norm data due to unexpected differences between UK and German samples.
