q2 · i? · causal · r2

Supplemental Material S8 reports additional linear models testing whether the order of the difficult and easy conditions influenced results. For working-memory performance, order was not significant in either condition, with β = -0.17 (p = .319) in the difficult part and β = -0.24 (p = .163) in the easy part.

"Order had no significant effect on working-memory performance in either the difficult (β = -0.17; p = .319) or the easy part (β = -0.24; p = .163)."

The same additional linear models in Supplemental Material S8 show that for RT deterioration, order was significant in the difficult part (β = 0.40; p = .020) but not in the easy part (β = -0.19; p = .277), "indicating that the sequence of conditions affected the magnitude of RT deterioration when tasks were difficult."
