Attention switching performance
downin humans1
Response time inconsistency impairs attention switching performance in humans.
“Greater RTI was associated with significantly slower attention switching performance between-persons and within-persons over time.”

Cognitive impairment no dementia
upin humans1
Response time inconsistency is associated with cognitive impairment no dementia in humans (p<.006 and p<.0001).
“Covariate-adjusted multinomial logistic regression models revealed RTI was associated with increased odds of CIND-single (p<.006) and CIND-multiple (p<.0001) statuses.”

Cognitive impairment no dementia is associated with response time inconsistency in humans (Cohen's d=.20, p<.01).
“Response time inconsistency (RTI), an index of central nervous system integrity and impairment/dementia risk, was greater among CIND-single (Cohen’s d=.20, p<.01) and CIND-multiple (Cohen’s d=.52, p<.001) participants”

Response time inconsistency is associated with cognitive impairment in humans.
“Importantly, RTI-attention switching associations were specific to individuals exhibiting cognitive impairment.”

Self-rated health
downin humans1
Response time inconsistency is associated with self-rated health in humans (r=-.13 to -.18, ps<.0001).
“as well as poorer self-rated mental (r=-.13) and physical (-.18, ps<.0001) health.”

Cognitive function

Response time inconsistency is associated with cognitive function in humans (rs=-.19 to -.41, ps<.0001).
“RTI was associated with slower task switching performance, lower scores on the BTACT, episodic memory, and executive function cognitive composites (rs=-.19 to -.41, ps<.0001)”

Age is associated with response time inconsistency in humans (r=.26, p<.0001).
