Behavioral patterns of social information foraging. (a) Daily contrast ratios (CR) indicating preference in color-cued emotional valence, fractal-cued emotional valence, and color-cued social vs nonsocial environments (see Methods). Narrow horizontal black lines indicate mean daily CRs (within-subject) and wide horizontal lines indicate standard errors. (b) Patch choice order within the color-cued emotional valence environment presented as the cumulative proportion of negative-valence (red) or non-negative (blue) patches. Black lines indicate the means (within-subject) and shading indicates standard errors.
