Table 1.

The conditional probability of collateral behaviors preceding a ‘short’ or ‘long’ response, p(C|R), and the conditional probability of a ‘short’ or ‘long’ response following each collateral behavior, p(R|C), calculated for each rat for the spatial discrimination task

The conditional probability of a ‘short’ or ‘long’ response occurring at t = 6 and t = 12 is also shown for each rat. The associated Z-score and Yule's Q statistics gauge the extent of each association.
