a Schematic of pre-initiation cue experiment. b Trial initiation time varied as a function of offered volume for rats that trained on the original task (black) before transitioning to pre-initiation cue task (pink) and for rats that trained exclusively on the pre-initiation cue task. c Trial initiation times were still sensitive to previous reward (behavior on trials offering 20μL conditioned on the previous reward offer) after training on the pre-initiation cue task. (pink; p < 0.05 for 13/16 rats, population p = 1.03 × 10−4, two-tailed Wilcoxon Rank-sum test, N = 16). d Trial initiation times in mixed blocks depended on previous block type in pre-initiation cue task. All error bars are mean ± S.E.M. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
