  1. Go-No-Go Task performance was expressed as response time. Thus, the corresponding correlation coefficients’ algebraic signs need to be interpreted in reverse. The total sample size was 71 (48 women, 23 men). Correlations were computed one-tailed. False discovery rate (FDR) is given for each tested hypothesis. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
