When there was no memory load the difference between the executive function and control blocks approached significance (b = -7.33, SE = 4.14, t(19157) = -1.77, p = .077), but when a memory load was present the switching block was significantly slower than the control block (b = -17.5, SE = 4.13, t(19156) = -4.25, p<0.001).
