Table 2.

Correlation between eye-movement measures (NF, RS and DT) at each target position and reaction time at each position and two working memory task scores.

	NF			RS			DT
	Top	Middle	Bottom	Top	Middle	Bottom	Top	Middle	Bottom
RT at each position	0.78**	0.78**	0.74**	−0.03	−0.01	−0.04	−0.11	0.16	0.05
NF at each position	—	—	—	0.06	0.26	0.21	0.00	0.22	0.39*
RS at each position	—	—	—	—	—	—	−0.16	−0.19	0.65**
RST	−0.18	−0.20	−0.23	0.14	0.10	0.23	−0.08	−0.41**	0.11
SST	0.05	−0.13	−0.21	0.01	−0.13	−0.04	−0.25	−0.41**	0.00

Note. RT = reaction time, NF = number of fixations, RS = regression size, DT = distance to target, RST = reading span task, SST = spatial span task. Significant correlations were not found between RT and RST performance (rs₍₄₀₎ = −0.14, −0.25, and −0.26 for the top, middle, and bottom, respectively) and SST (r₍₄₀₎ = 0.17, −0.01, and −0.15 for the top, middle, and bottom, respectively).
