Description of experimental conditions

Abbreviation Condition name Exchange Food Description
ETLV Equity test, low value Both exchange Both low value (carrot) Both subject and partner exchanged for low-value reward
ETHV Equity test, high value Both exchange Both high value (grape) Both subject and partner exchanged for high-value reward
FC Food control Both exchange Both see high value (grape) before exchange, receive low value (carrot) following exchange Prior to exchange, high-value reward was held in front of exchanger, then placed back in container; after successful completion of exchange, exchanger received low-value reward
IT Inequity test Both exchange Subject low value (carrot); partner high value (grape) Partner exchanged for high-value reward and subject exchanged for low-value reward
GR Gift reward No exchange Subject low value (carrot); partner high value (grape) Partner was given a high-value reward for ‘free’ (e.g. without exchange), then the subject was given a low-value reward
DT Delay test Both exchange, subject waits 10 s after exchange before receiving food Both high value (grape) Partner and subject had to exchange for high-value reward, but the subject had to wait 10 s before receiving it
DETLV Differential exchange test, low value Subject exchanges; partner does not exchange Both low value (carrot) Partner was given a low-value reward for ‘free’ (e.g. without exchange) and subject had to exchange for a low-value reward
DETHV Differential exchange test, high value Subject exchanges; partner does not exchange Both high value (grape) Partner was given a high-value reward for ‘free’ (e.g. without exchange) and subject had to exchange for a high-value reward
