| Baseline | 0.024 (0.005) | 857 (78) | 972 (90) | |
| PM Block | 0.93 (0.02) | 0.020 (0.003) | 1116 (97) | 1197 (81) |
| PM costs | −0.004 (0.004) | 260 (42) | 225 (49) | |
| Control | ||||
| Baseline | 0.024 (0.004) | 739 (39) | 830 (44) | |
| PM Block | 0.76 (0.05) | 0.024 (0.004) | 899 (40) | 988 (47) |
| PM costs | 0.001 (0.005) | 160 (30) | 158 (32) |
Note. PM = Prospective memory, RT = response time in ms. Baseline = first block without PM task, PM Block = second block with PM task. For the PM costs measure, performance in the baseline block substracted from performance in the second block. Standard errors are presented in parentheses.
