Table 2.
Response times and error rates in the two experimental paradigms
| Condition | Response times (ms) Mean (SD) |
Errors (%) Mean (SD) |
|---|---|---|
| Cognitive flexibility | ||
| Baseline trials (N = 100) | 688 (88) | 4.5 (3.1) |
| Distractor trials (N = 91) | 886 (155) | 8.3 (8.2) |
| Switch trials (N = 94) | 1,033 (165) | 8.8 (8.8) |
| Ambiguous trials (N = 83) | 1,140 (205) | 15.3 (9.4) |
| Affective flexibility (N = 99) | ||
| Baseline gender task | 655 (92) | 5.5 (3.7) |
| Baseline emotion task | 709 (89) | 7.5 (5.5) |
| Switches emotion → gender | 901 (141) | 6.9 (8.5) |
| Switches gender → emotion | 979 (161) | 15.8 (14.7) |
SD standard deviation. Sample sizes vary between experimental conditions as subjects with error rates of 30% or higher were excluded from analyses of the respective condition.
