  1. Mean values (with standard deviation) of main behavioral parameters of the reversal learning task in both species. A BF10 greater than one is in favor of a difference and vice versa. The further the BF10 is from one, the greater the evidence. A BF10 greater than 3 (or lower than 1/3) is commonly considered a significant evidence. For JZS ANOVA, the results of post hoc tests are given after the BF10 value with “=” indicating an absence of difference. SSC spontaneous strategy change, SCAPE strategy change after a probabilistic error.
