SRTT, serial reaction time task; SZ, schizophrenia; BD, bipolar disorder; HCs, healthy controls; SD, standard deviation. Effect size (generalized eta squared) lower than 0.01 was counted as negligible, 0.01–0.06 as small, 0.06–0.14 as medium, and higher than 0.14 as large.

 #χ(2,63)2 = 0.0286, p = 0.87.

§

χ2 comparisons of gender distribution among following groups: limited response time groups χ(2,90)2 =2.49, p = 0.28, unlimited response time group χ(2,97)2 = 3.5, p = 0.173; unlimited and limited response time groups combined, χ(2,187)2 = 5.39, p = 0.06.

F(1, 181) and F(2, 181) refers to comparison of SZ, BD, and HC groups, while F(1, 122) applies to the analysis of BD and SZ groups.
