Note. Min = minimum; Max = maximum.

a

Accuracy scores were arcsine transformed.

b

Internal reliability was calculated by adjusting split-half or part1–part2 correlations with the Spearman–Brown prophecy formula.

c

Internal reliability was calculated using Cronbach’s alpha.

d

Average of z-scores for the 2- and 3-back tasks.
