Section 3 glossary.

Cognitive efficiency References interplay of accuracy and response time in performance. Here, reflected as an efficiency ratio: % accurate/mean RT (for accurate responses)
Hit efficiency Efficiency in correctly identifying target stimuli
Correct rejection (CR) efficiency Efficiency in correctly identifying stimuli as novel, i.e., not presented previously (non-targets)
Working memory (WM) Neurobehavioral processes underlying manipulation of co-occurring stimulus streams/information sources. WM & selective attention rely on top-down cognitive control for differential processing of relevant vs. irrelevant information.
Neurophysiological methods Here, non-invasive EEG methods assessing event related shifts (event related potentials; ERPs) and neural oscillations. The latter are reported in units (db) of spectral power, reflecting the degree to which a specific EEG frequency (e.g., alpha) is observed within a given time window
