Auditory task); all measures were standardized prior data analyses; a = Reliability estimates were calculated based on difference scores formed by subtracting

reaction time on nonswitch (or noninhibit) blocks from reaction time on switch (or inhibit) blocks, for each possible pair of switch (inhibit) and nonswitch

(noninhibit) blocks; b = Reliability estimates were calculated across blocks; c = Reliability estimates were calculated across trials.
