aRW#1, Rescorla-Wagner model with one learning rate fitted across positive and negative PEs; RW#2, Rescorla-Wagner model with separate learning rates for positive and negative PEs; PH#1, Pearce-Hall model with a fitted initial learning rate and a parameter guiding the trialwise decay in learning rate; PH#2, Adaptive Pearce-Hall model with a fitted initial learning rate and a parameter guiding the trialwise decay in learning rate; AIC, Akaike information criteria; BIC, Bayesian information criteria. Here, PEs are scaled relative to reward variability. Models are fitted across all trials, conditions, and participants.
