  1. ‘F’ denotes the fitness training intervention; ‘F + C’ denotes the fitness plus cognitive training intervention; and ‘F + C + M’ denotes the fitness plus cognitive training plus meditation intervention. Values in each of three columns of the table are the mean score to responses for one of 3 questions asked at pre-intervention: Does video game training improve cognitive ability? Does engaging in exercise improve cognitive ability? Does practicing meditation improve cognitive ability? To each of these 3 questions, a respondent could ‘Agree’ (Likert score of 1), ‘Neither agree or disagree’ (Likert score of 2) or ‘Disagree’ (Likert score of 3). The F statistic in each column is a one-way ANOVA, with intervention as the group factor, indicating whether there are intervention group differences in expectancies. No results are statistically significant
