Evidence Accumulation Rate Moderates the Relationship between Enriched Environment Exposure and Age-Related Response Speed Declines

Parameter estimates from the final linear regression model for response time (RT) as a function of the neurophysiological signals

Signal Stand. β t p 95% CI
Age 0.44 5.645 <0.0005 [1.48, 3.09]
CPP build-up rate −0.53 −5.67 <0.0005 [−1300.90, −623.08]
CPP amplitude 0.29 3.30 0.002 [1.18, 4.79]
LHB Latency 0.26 3.35 0.001 [0.10, 0.39]
  • Stand, Standard. Age * RT, age, evidence accumulation (CPP) build-up rate, CPP amplitude, and LHB latency exerted partially independent influences on RT, together accounting for 71.4% of the variation (adjusted R2 value) in RT. The absolute value of standardized β represents the importance of each predictor, independent of the unit of measurement. CI denotes confidence interval for β. Extended Data Table 2-1 shows a comparison of the older and younger adults on each of the eight neural metrics, and Extended Data Table 2-2 contains the full output of the regression model.
