Subclaims¶

q3 i1 Accuracy in the incongruent HF block was marginally positively correlated with verbal WM (ρ = 0.16, p = .053), significant when controlling for RT, but unrelated to visuospatial WM (ρ = −0.01). → Ger Ebru 2023

q3 · i1 · associational · r2

Correlational analysis in the same N = 147 sample. Inhibition accuracy correlated marginally with verbal WM (Dwarf backward color recall) and not at all with visuospatial WM (Mole position span): "ρ = −0.01, p = .954".

"Accuracy in the incongruent HF was also marginally positively correlated with verbal WM (ρ = 0.16, p = .053; Figure 2b), which turned significant when controlling for RT (ρ = 0.16, p = .049), but not with visuospatial WM (ρ = −0.01, p = .954)"
