Mean ± SD represents the mean response time with its standard deviation. Me refers to the median response time. Q1–Q3 indicates the interquartile range, which spans from the first quartile (Q1) to the third quartile (Q3). The H statistic is derived from the Kruskal-Wallis test, used to assess differences across groups.
