Study 2 fMRI task-performance data at baseline and follow-up
Variable | Continuous nondrinkers (n = 20) M (SD) | Heavy drinking transitioners (n = 20) M (SD) |
Baseline | ||
2-dot accuracy, % | 91.01 (8.24) | 91.18 (11.27) |
6-dot accuracy, % | 77.93 (12.24) | 79.40 (8.07) |
2-dot reaction time, ms* | 2,596.89 (217.96) | 2,436.22 (223.73) |
6-dot reaction time, ms | 2,714.00 (230.55) | 2,599.56 (214.30) |
Follow-up | ||
2-dot accuracy, % | 96.11 (4.50) | 94.86 (4.95) |
6-dot accuracy, % | 84.04 (8.35) | 80.16 (10.27) |
2-dot reaction time, ms | 2,213.89 (125.95) | 2,214.10 (96.40) |
6-dot reaction time, ms | 2,369.32 (147.57) | 2,405.50 (104.57) |
Notes: Significant Time × Drinking Status interactions were observed in 2-and 6-dot reaction time. For both interactions, adolescents who transitioned into heavy drinking had attenuated decreases in reaction time at follow-up compared with continuous nondrinkers. fMRI = functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Continuous nondrinkers ≠ heavy drinkers, p < .05.
