Dynamic reversal manipulation. Shows the dynamic switch protocol whereby rats (n=8 males, n=8 females) were required to switch between the two rules after a fixed number of trials. The first rule was the cue light task requiring rats to respond at the location of a cue light by making a head entry in the correct head entry receptacle. The second rule required rats to respond only at one location and withhold responding to the location of the cue light. Each block consisted of 10 trials. (A) performance on the VCT over 12 blocks. (B) Performance over 12 blocks with 60 trials on each rule. (C) Performance over 12 blocks of 40 trials per rule. (D) Performance over 12 blocks with 20 trials per rule. Successful acquisition of a rule was determined by achieving 80% accuracy.
