Age differences in the neural response to emotional distraction during working memory encoding.

While the main effect of condition was not significant ( F (1,24) = 1.88, p = 0.18, η p 2 = 0.08), the condition by age interaction was marginally significant ( F (1,24) = 4.31, p = 0.049, η p 2 = 0.16), suggesting that older adults’ performance was lower when emotional distractors were presented compared with neutral distractors ( F (12) = 5.46, p = 0.039, η p 2 = 0.33 ).
