a, c Uncertainty across naive (a) and expert (c) groups in relation to the previous trial’s response type on the current trial’s uncertainty, with no significant statistical differences observed. Subsequent analysis evaluates uncertainty differences for each pair of previous and current trial response types. b A spider plot representing uncertainty based on pairs of previous and current trial response types, with axes indicating previous trials and lines differentiated by color to represent current trials. Naive phase uncertainty associated with pairs of response types is presented, with the dynamics between consecutive trial responses detailed. d Expert phase uncertainty in response type pairs, highlighting significant variations in uncertainty after unexpected trial sequences. e Visualization of uncertainty dynamics influenced by prior trial outcomes. There were changes in mice’s uncertainty in the current trial after unexpected outcomes in the previous trial. The error bars represent the s.e.m.
