For each condition the means of actions on the first lever (L1) and second lever (L2), averaged over 40 replications of the simulation, are reported. The left columns refer to tests without devaluation. The right columns refer to tests where the food associated to L2 had been devalued. The CONTROL row refers to simulations with the intact model, whereas the other rows refer to simulations where various structures of the model were lesioned either before training (-pre) or after training (-post).
