Task. (A) Task for Experiment 1. At the beginning of each trial, two gambling cards were presented with the value of the card not shown and participants were required to choose one card within 1.5 s. The chosen card was then highlighted in yellow to indicate the participant’s selection. Then feedback was provided by displaying the outcome associated with the chosen card (still highlighted) and the alternative outcome associated with the unchosen card. This was followed by an inter-trial-interval (0.5 s). There was no saliency emphasis in this experiment. (B) Task for Experiment 2. To emphasize the utility (win or loss) or performance (correct or incorrect) dimension of the chosen card, a specific highlight message (‘Win’, ‘Loss’, ‘Correct’, ‘Incorrect’) about the chosen outcome was displayed. (C) Task for Experiment 3. The procedure was the same as Experiment 2, except that a non-specific highlight about the emphasis dimension (‘Win or Loss’, ‘Correct or Incorrect’) was displayed.
