Experimental Tasks and Behavioral Analyses
(A) Experimental tasks A and B. In task A (first column), the rate of coherently moving dots changed between conditions (low, medium, and high unidirectional coherence). Black traces illustrate how coherence changed over time in the different conditions. In task B, 50% of trials showed dots moving coherently in opposite directions until dots moving in the incorrect direction were capped (red trace in right upper panel), while the remaining 50% of trials were identical to medium unidirectional coherence trials in task A.
(B) RT histograms and accuracy rates of all conditions are shown.
(C and D) Effects of the experimental manipulations on RT and accuracy. Columns reflect delta values. Error bars indicate SD. Asterisks indicate significance at pcorrected 0.05.
