Note. Antisaccade = accuracy in naming a digit appearing opposite a cued location; Stroop RT = reaction time interference effect (incongruent trial RT minus asterisk trial RT); Stroop Inc. acc. = color-naming accuracy on incongruent Stroop trials; SSRT = stop-signal reaction time. Alcohol = dummy-coded variable testing pharmacological effects of alcohol (alcohol group vs. placebo group). Expectancy = dummy-coded variable testing the expectancy effect (placebo group vs. control group). Limb condition = whether or not tasks were completed on the ascending limb (0 = no [D-only group]; 1 = yes [A/D group]).
