Individual data for the percentages of selection of the punished stimulus elements (i.e., the originally more-often-selected; 1st column) and the originally less-often-selected (2nd column) stimulus elements in the test phase of Experiment 2. The 3rd and 4th columns show the differences in the percentages of selection of the two types of elements between Experiments 1 and 2 (specifically, % in Experiment 2 - % in Experiment 1). Age group (in years) is denoted by number: 1  =  18–22; 2  =  47–55; 3  =  70–80.
