Table 1:

Foraging environment parameters and results of best threshold simulation.

A. Environment parameter Value

Harvest time 2 seconds
Travel time 20 seconds
Cognitive Travel Tasks 1-Back, 3-Back (10 trials)
Physical Travel Tasks Larger (100% max), Smaller (50%) number of presses
Block duration 7 minutes
Number blocks per condition 2
Number ofconditions 4
Total Number of blocks 8
Initial reward 𝒩15,1
Decay rate (κ) β(14.13, 2.03), mean = 0.88

B. Best threshold simulation Value

Best threshold (ρ, apples) 4.65
Reward rate (apples/second) 2.32
Number ofharvests μ 9.95
Number ofharvests SD 2.01

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.
