offspring had significantly higher impulsivity on all the scores than the LR subjects: non-planning (F = 13.36; p = 0.0003), motor (F = 16.21; p = 0.0001), attentional (F = 28.49; p < 0.0000), and total impulsivity (F = 27.80; p < 0.0001). Similarly, older HR females showed significantly increased BIS scores for non-planning (F = 7.52; p = 0.0063), motor (F = 6.21; p = 0.0130), and total impulsivity (F = 8.85; p = 0.0031) compared to older LR females.
