The duration of the first individual look of a trial is uniquely predicted by log10 look count (habituation) and lag 1 duration (temporal dependency). The model uses the last look of one trial to predict the first look of the next trial in the habituation protocol. The χ2 describes a comparison to a model with no temporal dependency (Lag 1) effects (see text). The inclusion of Log10 Look Count as a predictor accounted for 40.8% more variance than a model with the intercept alone. The inclusion of Lag 1 Duration as a predictor accounted for 10.7% more variance than a model with Log10 Look Count. For the model equation and unstructured (full) covariance matrix see S1 Text.
