Table 4. RD change in white matter tracts and working memory change.
Spatial Span Backward | Digit Span Backward | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tract | Hemisphere | r | p | r | p |
ILF | right | -.19 | .021 | .03 | .754 |
IFOF | right | -.21 | .013 | .03 | .713 |

Partial correlation between change in RD in specific white matter tracts and change in Spatial Span Backward scores, controlling for age, sex, interval and motion at both time points. ILF = Inferior longitudinal fasciculus, IFOF = Inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, UF = Uncinate fasciculus and FMaj = Forceps major. Numbers in bold signify Bonferroni-corrected significance level p < .05.
