Note. Strong measurement invariance; correlated residuals for same tasks at pretest and posttest, as well as for the Letters and Digits task at pretest and at posttest.

a

Drift rate estimates for the different masking time conditions averaged before analysis.

b

χ2 difference of likelihood ratio test comparison with a model in which the correlation is constrained to zero.

c

χ2 difference of likelihood ratio test comparison with a model in which the pre- and posttest correlations are constrained to be equal.

d

Constrained model could not be estimated.
