  1. Bold indicates uncorrected p < .01
  2. Although we had two indices of task-switching performance—mixed-block accuracy and a task-switching cost in RT—these two indices did not correlate with each other at the adjusted alpha level, r = 0.11, p = 0.042. For this reason, further analysis relied primarily on mixed-block accuracy, the performance index used in Mani et al. (2013)
  3. *indicates values significant at the corrected alpha level of p < 0.0083
