  • All data represent raw untransformed data.

  • * Points letter–number sequencing is defined as items of longest row multiplied by amount of correct recalled rows.

  • Speed is calculated as correct scored items in 60 s.

  • Reaction time is time release of home button after stimulus.

  • § Motion time is time needed to go from home button to target button.

  • Disengagement is time needed to release the target button.

  • ** Average of the median values.

  • †† Precision is calculated as total correct responses divided by total amount of responses in 60 s.

  • cpd., cycles per degree; L, large; ms, milliseconds; S, small; sec, seconds.
