Table 2. n-back task performance for target stimuli by genotype groups.

Values are reported as mean ± standard error of the mean. Reported p-values reflect COMT × DARPP-32 interaction effects in a 3 (COMT genotype group) × 2 (DARPP-32 genotype group) ANOVA with white ethnicity and sex included as covariates. Conventions as for Table 1.
