Table 1. Overview of Planned Comparisons to Explore the Effect of the Previous Gamble on the Start RT of the Gambling Task in Experiments 1–5.

Experiment diff Lower CI Upper CI t p gav BF
Note. RT = reaction time; diff = difference; CI = confidence interval; gav = Hedge’s average g; BF = Bayes factor, which is an odds ratio: It is the probability of the data under one hypothesis relative to that under another. Evidence categories for Bayes Factor: BF < .33 = substantial evidence for Hypothesis (H)0; 1/3–1 = anecdotal evidence for H0; 1 = no evidence; 1–3 = anecdotal evidence for HA; 3–10 = substantial evidence for HA; BF > 10 = strong to decisive evidence for HA. H0 = no difference between the trial types; HA = a difference between the trial types. We calculated the Bayes factors with the BayesFactor package in R, using the default prior (.707). Experiment 1, df = 19; Experiments 2–5, df = 39.
