CPT = Continuous Performance Test, AVLT = Auditory Verbal Learning Test, int = significant interaction term for state by pesticide exposure; All models were adjusted for age (years) and ART score. In addition, CPT models were adjusted for positive affect score (PA) and caffeine consumption; Digit-Symbol models were adjusted for PA, education, state, and visual acuity score; Finger Tapping models were adjusted for PA and state; Grooved Pegboard models were adjusted for caffeine consumption, state and visual acuity score; AVLT Total Recall models were adjusted for negative affect score (NA), PA score, and education; AVLT Delayed Recall models were adjusted for NA, PA, education and state; AVLT Recognition models were adjusted for PA, education and state; Sequences A and B were adjusted for PA and state.
