A: column 1: environment parameter, column 2: value. Participants completed eight 7-minute blocks. B: Best exit threshold policy identified in Bustamante et al. (2023), rows indicate best threshold from simulation, reward rate achieved with best threshold (apples per second), mean and standard deviation of the number of harvests it took to reach the best threshold.
