In each condition, each individual was classified as having (1) an increasing monotonic function (I) indicative of learning to prefer the low variability deck, (2) a decreasing monotonic function (D) indicative of learning to prefer the high variability deck or (3) not having shown evidence of learning (−). We were also able to classify individuals as having an overall strategy of reward maximization (Max) or variance avoidance (Avoid)
