Approach-avoidance conflict task, adapted from Bach et al. (2014). Participants were tasked to collect as many of the tokens placed at random as they could, while avoiding capture by a predator. Trials (160 in 4 blocks) varied in time between 6 and 15 s after which the predator woke up in 20% (low threat; 50% of trials) or 60% of trials (high threat) and chased the participant for 3.5 s, if not caught. The predator is at minimum 2.5 times faster than the player. At trial start, the player figure is placed next to the predator or in the safe place (where the predator could not catch them) in 50% of trials each. In the foraging phase, the border color indicates which threat level is present in the current trial, while on predator wake-up, the color changes to red. For more details, see Online Resource 3.
