In Table 1, the headings for ME WM-load, ME stimulation and ME block do not accurately appear. Please see the corrected Table 1 here.
Table 1. Treatment effects on n-back performances independent of WM-load load and Post-hoc tests for each WM-load separately.
| Variable of interest | WM-load * stimulation | ME WM- load | ME stimulation | ME block | Age*load / ME age | Sex*load / ME sex |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delta ACC | p = 0.0001* | p = 0.005 | p = 0.03 | p = 0.80 | p <0.0001 | p < 0.0001 |
| Delta ACC 0-back | p = 0.13 | p = 0.14 | p = 0.89 | p = 0.0039 | ||
| Delta ACC 2-back | p = 0.0036* | p = 0.07 | p = 0.0039* | p = 0.0039* | ||
| Delta ACC 3-back | p = 0.81 | p = 0.60 | p = 0.77 | p = 0.26 |
Note. * p < .017 representing Bonferroni corrected α level for the post-hoc tests. ME = Main effect. There was a significant interaction between load and stimulation on delta ACC n-back performance. The interaction of age and load as well as sex and load were included as covariates. Post-hoc tests revealed a significant stimulation effect on 2-back performance only. For the Post-hoc tests only the main effects for sex and age were included as covariates, but not the interaction terms WM-load by sex and WM-load by age.
