Descriptive statistics for all the variables (pretesting and post-testing data).
| Measures | Pretesting | Post-testing | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | SE | P -value | M | SE (SD) | P -value | |
| RST | 0.83 | 0.02 | 0.05 | 0.88 | 0.02 | 0.05 |
| Plus-minus (s) | 22.90 | 2.95 | 0.02 | 14.55 | 1.85 | 0.02 |
| SART (accuracy) | 0.96 | 0.003 | 0.50 | 0.96 | 0.004 | 0.50 |
| SART (RT in s) | 0.37 | 0.008 | 0.06 | 0.39 | 0.009 | 0.06 |

RST, reading span task (WM); Plus-minus, plus-minus task (switching skills measured with a switching cost in seconds); SART, sustained attention to response task (sustained attention). NTR accuracy was only measured after the training course.
