Extraction done via principal axis factoring; oblimin rotation. The strongest loading for each task is in bolded font. For ease of interpretation, some loadings were multiplied by –1 such that positive loadings reflect better performance on the task was positively related to the factor. Factor correlations were between r = .27 and .42
