“…There was a main effect of age group (Table ), with faster RTs in adults (1,840 ms ± 34) than adolescents (2,085 ms ± 31), and a significant interaction between age group and genotype (Table ). Similar to visuospatial WM, analysis of simple effects indicated that the effect of genotype was significant in adults ( F (1,302) = 7.12, p = .008, η p 2 = 0.023, see Dumontheil et al, ), with faster RTs in Met/Met individuals than Val carriers, but not in adolescents ( F (1,302) = 1.30, p = .255), where the pattern was in the opposite direction (Figure c). Simple effects analyses also indicated that the difference in social WM RT between Met/Met adults and Met/Met adolescents was greater ( F (1,302) = 22.10, p < .001, η p 2 = 0.068), than between adult and adolescent Val carriers ( F (1,302) = 6.60, p = .011, η p 2 = 0.021; Figure c), a pattern similar to that observed in the visuospatial WM task.…”
