(A) Percentage of avoidance decisions in individual participants during avoidance (upper panel) and across trials (lower panel), (B) reaction times (in seconds) to reach a decision to avoid or receive the following US and (C) the total number of respective decisions. (B) and (C) were subdivided with respect to the pain-related experience preceding the decision, i.e. depicting (B) reaction times and (C) total number of decisions following a prior experience of an unpredicted unconditioned stimulus (US, left panel), following successful avoidance (middle panel) or decisions following the prior experience of a predicted US in the preceding trial (right panel). Data on reaction times in seconds are given as mean ± SEM. ***p < .001, *p < .05, based on results of Fisher’s Exact Tests. Statistical details are provided in Table 2.
