Table 3. Basic target discrimination across WM loads by genotype groups.
Target discrimination quantified as a d′ measure of correct target hits versus non-target false alarms (see Methods). Values are reported as mean ± standard error. Other conventions as for Tables 1 and 2. Significant main effect of WM load: F(2,178)=22.58, p<0.001; no significant main or interacting effects of COMT or DARPP-32 genotype on basic target detection (max F=1.69, min p=0.19).
