Table 3.

Alerting, orienting, and executive control calculations and reaction time interpretations as conventionally defined (Fan, McCandliss, Fossela, Flombaum, & Posner, 2005; Fan et al., 2002; MacLeod et al., 2010). Note, in accuracy, smaller scores equal better alerting, orienting, and executive control.

Attention Subtype	Calculation	Reaction Time Interpretation
Alerting	No Cue – Double Cue	Larger scores = better alerting
Orienting	Center Cue – Spatial Cue	Larger scores = better orienting
Executive Control	Incongruent – Congruent Trials	Smaller scores = better executive control
