There were significant multivariate effects for AE [F (4, 302) = 11.36, p < .001, partial η2 = .131], ADHD [F (4, 302) = 6.90, p < .001, partial η2 = .084], and the covariate of Age [F (4, 302) = 22.19, p < .001, partial η2 = .227]. The AE × ADHD interaction was also significant [F (4, 302) = 3.40, p = .010, partial η2 = .043]. To probe the significant multivariate effects, we examined the between-subjects effects for each individual dependent variable.. There were statistically significant (p < .004) main effects of AE on all CANTAB subtest scores (AE< Non-exposed). There were also statistically significant main effects of ADHD (ADHD < non-ADHD) on SWM and DMS (p ≤ .001), but not on IED-SC or IED-TE (p > .079). The AE × ADHD interaction effect was statistically significant (p = .001) for SWM. See Table 4. The interaction contrast, (AE+ vs. AE−) vs. (ADHD vs. CON), was significant (p = .001) for SWM. Simple effects showed that there was no significant difference between the AE+ and AE− (p
