Note. All correlations significant at the p < .05 level; Max correlations within each efficiency score type combination bolded; ADT = Age Differentiation Task; ER40 = Emotion Recognition Task; CPW = Word Memory Task; PLOT = Penn Line Orientation Task; VOLT = Visual Object Learning Test; Score/RT = total correct divided by median reaction time.
