Behavioral Results. (A) Reaction Times (RT). The box plots depict reaction times for each combination of stimulus-response mapping and reward condition. Contingent (CR) trials are shown in dark grey, non-contingent (NCR) trials are shown in light grey. (B) Switch probabilities. Probability to switch away from the current task as a function of previous reward (high = HR dark grey, low = LR light grey), separately for contingent (CR) and non-contingent (NCR) trials. (C) Probability to choose the high reward task in CR trials (p(HR)), as a function of how many trials passed since the last reward contingency switch. Participants chose below chance (50%) on trials immediately following a contingency switch (‘perseveration’), and then quickly switched to choosing the HR task on subsequent trials. All error bars depict the SEM.
