Table 4.
Numbers of Children Showing Each Pattern of Choices on Day 2 in Experiments Experiment 2a and Experiment 2b Broken Down by Whether Participants Experienced Regret in the Regret Condition
| Experience regret | Baseline condition | Regret condition | Adaptive switching | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Switch | No switch | Switch | No switch | Yes | No | |
| Experiment 2a | ||||||
| Yes (N = 38) | 11 | 27 | 37 | 1 | 26 | 12 |
| No (N = 32) | 17 | 15 | 18 | 14 | 10 | 22 |
| Experiment 2b | ||||||
| Yes (N = 61) | 19 | 42 | 53 | 8 | 38 | 23 |
| No (N = 52) | 21 | 31 | 36 | 16 | 18 | 34 |
Note. The two leftmost data columns show the numbers of children switching choices in the baseline condition. The middle data columns show equivalent numbers for 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).
