The trial-types are determined by task difficulty (easy, medium, hard), noise (regular, noisy) and context (fast-slow, same-diff). There were 24 trials for each trial-type presented pseudorandomly across four sessions; two for the fast-slow context, and two for the same-diff context. Boxes with NA (not applicable) indicate possible trial-types that were not used in the study.
