Correlation r coefficients are shown with bootstrap bias-corrected 95% confidence intervals in brackets. Sense of GPS dependence correlations were covaried with SBSOD scores. Longitudinal analyses were covaried with navigation performance at baseline and GPS measure at baseline. Significant correlations (Bootstrap BCa 95% CI not overlapping with 0) are denoted with *.
