(A)Descriptive statistics for six EF tasks.(B)Descriptive statistics for Common EF, Shifting-specific EF, and Updating-specific EF.(C)Descriptive statistics for correlations amongst seven resting-state networks. V, visual network; SM, sensory/somatomotor network; DAN, dorsal attention network; VAN, ventral attention network; FP, frontoparietal network; DEF, default network. For example, the mean for V_to_SM is Fishers’ z-transformation of Pearson’s correlation between visual and sensory/somatomotor networks. Split-half reliability (odd/even for Stroop and Category-switch or run1/run2 for antisaccade and number–letter), adjusted with the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula. Chronbach’s alpha across 3 runs for keep track and 4 sets of trials for letter memory.
