Notes: Flanker COV = coefficient of variation of the Flanker task using all valid trials; Flanker effect = conflict resolution defined as the difference between congruent vs incongruent trials; Flanker overall RT = average reaction time based on all valid trials; NW = normal pace walk; p = p value; r = Pearson correlation; RBANS = Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status; Serial 7 = percent of correct responses on the Serial 7 subtraction task when performed as a single task; Serial 7 WWC = percent of correct responses on the Serial 7 subtraction task when performed while walking; WWC = walking while counting.
