Abstract
Cognitive processing speed and total cerebral white matter volume are sensitive predictors of working memory (WM) performance, including accuracy and reaction time, in a large sample of healthy adults. These closely related predictors account for significant common variance in WM performance, yet each exhibits significant unique predictive utility.
