Transitions between complementary task-solving strategies during visual discrimination learning.
Alternative task-solving strategies emerge depending on the extent to which the CS+/CS− images become a reliable source of information for behavioral control. (A–C) Side-bias (group average) as a function of training for the different groups (see Methods). At the bottom of each panel, the choices from individual mice (y-axis) are shown as either black (right choices) or white (left choices) rectangles as a function of training unit (x-axis). Individual side-bias is reflected as horizontal white or black blocks of different lengths. The red squares in the SSIMdec panels depict the location of the training unit at which each subject presented the biggest drop in side-bias. Note how the mice trained with a constant SSIM of 1 slowly adopted a side-bias (A).
