  • To illustrate the strength of the effects, multiple regression analyses were run. The partial βs for sdRT are controlled for age, sex, and mRT; the partial βs for mRT are controlled for age and sex. The partial β statistics for the congruent condition are based on diffusion values from each voxel where a significant relationship of at least p < 0.001 (uncorrected) between the RT measure and diffusion was found in the whole-skeleton analyses. For the incongruent condition, the effects were too weak to survive such a conservative threshold, so a threshold of p < 0.01 was chosen to illustrate the effects. Based on the same reasoning, a threshold of 0.05 (corrected) was chosen for the mRT analyses. % voxels denotes the percentage of the voxels in the skeleton that showed a significant relationship of at least p = 0.05, fully corrected for multiple comparisons across space.
