*2.5. Data Analysis*

Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software. To verify the applicability of the parametric analysis, a Shapiro–Wilk normality test was applied, which did not reveal a normal distribution of the data.

For the self-report questionnaires, statistical analyses were performed on the mean percentage of responses with two separated Wilcoxon tests for DASS-21 and PRMQ to evaluate differences between T0 and T1 in anxiety, depression, and stress and in prospective and retrospective memory, respectively.

For the MIST and PASAT tests, we ran two separated Mann–Whitney U tests, which compared the mean number of incorrect—for the PASAT test—or correct responses—for the MIST test—at T1 with the normative data (T0) for the two tests. For the MIST test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired samples was also conducted to directly compare the results obtained in the event-based and time-based subtests at T1.

Finally, Spearman's correlations were calculated to examine possible relationships within the self-reported questionnaires (DASS-21 and PRMQ) and within the standardized tests (PASAT and MIST) at T1. Only significant correlations are reported in the Results section.

For all analyses, *p*-values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
