Baseline cognitive tasks.

Construct or cognitive task and reference		Description	Metrics recorded
Working memory
	n-back task, Pelegrina et al [71]	The 2-back task will be used. In the 2-back task, a series of letters will be shown to participants in a sequential order. Participants are to click a prespecified key on their device if the letter shown matches the letter shown 2 turns back.	Percentage of correct matches Percentage of missed matches Percentage of false alarms Mean response time
Inhibitory control
	Go or no-go task, Bezdjian et al [72]	In the go or no-go task, participants are asked to click the spacebar when they see the “go” sign but do nothing when they see the “no-go” sign.	Response speed Number of errors Mean response time
	Stop-signal task, Kulendran et al [73]	In the stop signal task, 2 arrows, 1 pointing to the right and the other pointing to the left, will be shown in random order. In the first round, without the stop signal, the participant will click a prespecified key when the left pointing arrow is shown and a different prespecified key when the right pointing arrow is shown. In the second round which includes the stop signal, participants are to stop from clicking the arrows when the red signal appears.	Mean response time Error rate
Selective attention, processing speed, and cognitive flexibility
	Stroop task, Stroop [74]	In the Stroop task, names of different colors (blue, green, yellow, and red) will be printed in either of the 4 colors. Participants are to use prespecified keyboard keys to identity the color in which the word is printed in and not the meaning of the word. If the word “yellow” is printed in green, the correct response would be to click on the key that corresponds to green.	Mean response time for congruent and incongruent stimuli
