Figure 5. Specificity of the transient social effect for different age classes for the current study and the previous experiment by Thornton and Malapert [21].

Specificity quantifies the probability a naive observer will use the same option-type it has observed, given that it manipulates one of them immediately after observation. The mean of the posterior sample is shown in each case, with the 95% central interval. * Indicates that the 95% central interval for the difference between the two studies did not include zero, whereas NS signifies that it did.
