Figures & data
Table 1. Demographics of participants in the three experimental groups, showing mean, standard deviation, and p-value from a 3 × 1 ANOVA testing for between-group differences.
Table 2. Effect sizes for changes in test scores in each group, in raw time (milliseconds) and as Cohen’s d (see text for details of computation). Effect sizes with d > .4 are bolded.
Table 3. Summary of findings showing differences in improvement by groups for the outcome measures.
Figure 1. Performance in the N-back task. A) Reaction time to all trials, both target and non-target. B) Accuracy expressed as D-prime, a measure of response discrimination combining targets and non-targets. For all figures, error bars represent 95% confidence interval of the mean averaged across subjects (after averaging across trials within subject).
