Differential importance of predictors. a. Results of the linear mixed model for d’ memory scores. The plot shows the three-way interaction effect of task format (FC, YN), cognitive process (EF, PD) and performance on the cognitive predictors (z-scores). The plots shows an attenuation in the associations between perceptual discrimination and Yes/No performance and the association between executive functioning and Forced Choice performance, respectively, after controlling for all other effects in the mixed linear model as opposed to bivariate correlations with no covariates (see Fig. 3). b. Complete dominance metric for predictors used in the Forced Choice and Yes/No d’ regression models. The y-axis represents the mean complete dominance metric across all bootstrap samples. EF: executive functions; PD: perceptual discrimination.
