Fixed effects coefficient estimates of first-stage choice regressions in part 1 of the experiment (symbols are arbitrarily labelled A and B) using mixed-effects logistic models. Columns 1 and 2 display results that used a group dummy variable to compare model-based and model-free subjects coefficients; columns 3 and 4 present the results using a continuous value of w. Model-based behaviour is more affected by the gaze location, while model-free behaviour is more influenced by dwell time. The binary dependent variable was equal to 1 if symbol ‘B' was chosen; QB−QA is the hybrid Q-value difference estimated from the computational model; ‘B chosen at t−1', ‘Last gaze on B', and ‘First gaze on B' are binary variables; ‘Last gaze time' is duration of the last gaze on the particular trial; ‘model-based' was equal to 1 if the subject was in the model-based group (w<0.3). The coefficients of primary interest are shown in bold. AIC, Akaike information criterion; BIC, Bayesian information criterion.
