Here, you will find the following:
For all behavioral and fNIRS data used in the analyses, please refer to document called "01FinalVWMSchooling.xlsx" in the "Data_Files" folder. A description of the variable names used in the data file can be found in the document called "Description".
For the R scripts that were used to analyze the data, please refer to the "R_Scripts" folder.
In here, you will find the univariate scripts for each variable:
