School education/SD	12.67/1.0	12.4/1.08	11.0/1.63	11.09/1.92
Minimum school education	10	10	8	8
Maximum school education	13	13	13	13
MoCA score/SD	29.11/.33	27.2/2.74	27.1/2.73	26.0/2.61
MWT score/SC	32.44/2.7	30.6/3.41	32.3/3.56	31.73/3.95

Note. Age and school education are given in years. YHP = younger high performers; YLP = younger low performers; OHP = older high performers; OLP = older low performers; SD = standard deviation; MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment; MWT = multiple choice vocabulary test.
