P2, FRN, P3a, and P3b are all trial-by-trial amplitudes in response to the offer (see Methods). All variables were scaled but not mean-centered. The model includes P2 as a control for the FRN since the FRN is defined as the N2 amplitude. The model includes subject-specific random intercept and slope for P3a. All statistical tests are two-sided with no adjustments for multiple comparisons. The dataset includes 6403 observations from 41 participants.
