A. Environment parameter	Value
Harvest time	2 s
Travel time	20 s
Cognitive Travel Tasks	1-Back, 3-Back (10 trials)
Physical Travel Tasks	Larger (100% max), Smaller (50%) number of presses
Block duration	7 min
Number blocks per condition	2
Number of conditions	4
Total Number of blocks	8
Initial reward Decay rate (κ)	N(15,1) 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 of harvests μ	9.95
Number of harvests s.d.	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.
