Trial structure. This example trial depicts a gain cue (Gewinn [German word for gain] 90%) preceeding a visual search array containing a gain target (here a red “T”). Participants were told that cues informed them about an average likelihood of a gain or loss target being subsequently presented in a visual search array. Participants gained (lost) 25 Swiss cents each time they saw a gain (loss) target in the search array. They were instructed to respond to the target (gain or loss) as quickly and accurately as possible. A similar version of this figure was previously published in a manuscript reporting behavioral data of another study using the same experimental design (Fig. 1)12.
