Table 2.
Numbers of Children Showing Each Pattern of Choices on Day 2 in Experiment 1 Broken Down by Age and Whether Participants Experienced Regret in the Regret Condition
| Age (years) | Experience regret | Baseline condition | Regret condition | Adaptive switching | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Switch | No switch | Switch | No switch | Yes | No | ||
| 5 | Yes (N = 6) | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 6 |
| No (N = 20) | 14 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 1 | 19 | |
| 7 | Yes (N = 19) | 4 | 15 | 17 | 2 | 14 | 5 |
| No (N = 9) | 4 | 5 | 7 | 2 | 4 | 5 | |
| 9 | Yes (N = 23) | 4 | 19 | 22 | 1 | 19 | 4 |
| No (N = 1) | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | |
Note. The two leftmost data columns show the numbers of children who switched choices in the baseline condition. The middle data columns show the equivalent numbers in the regret condition. The rightmost data columns show the numbers of children who switched adaptively (i.e., switched in the regret but not baseline condition).
