Figure 4

During the probe trial, i.e., after CS–US conditioning, ram cichlids spend significantly more time in the end-zone of the arm of a plus maze marked by the CS (green colour) compared to how much time they spend on average in the (non-marked) end-zones of the other three arms (A). Ram cichlids also spend significantly more time in the CS (green) marked end-zone during the probe trial, i.e., after training, compared to how much time they spend in the green-marked end-zone during the colour choice trial (B). Means ± S.E.M. are shown. Significant (p ≤ 0.01) differences are indicated by **. Note that during the probe trial, US (food) is absent, and only the CS (green cue) is presented.
