Measures of average similarity for different time periods after the eRT, computed from the cumulative distribution plots in Fig. 6

Time Period After eRT	Average Similarity Between Trials of the Same Task, Both Quiet Cues	Average Similarity Between Trials of Different Tasks, Both Quiet Cues	Average Similarity Between Trials of the Same Task, Both Loud Cues	Average Similarity Between Trials of the Same Task, Quiet Cues Compared with Loud Cues
0–10 ms	0.913	0.700†	0.908*	0.906†
10–20 ms	0.901	0.673†	0.895*	0.892†

Similarity measures in the 3rd and 4th columns were compared and did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). eRT, earliest reaction time.

^*P < 0.05.

^†P < 10⁻⁴, significantly different (t-test) from the similarity between trials of the same task following quiet cues (1st column).
