Table 1. Predictions of behavioural outcomes for potential strategies used by prey to predict the change in risk through time based on prior information.

Treatment Potential strategies:
use recent average extrapolate
consistent high risk: high-high-high high high high
no risk: nil-nil-nil nil nil nil
steady increase: low-medium-high high medium >high
abrupt increase: low-sham-high high medium >high

Potential strategies include using only the most recent information, averaging all information through time, and extrapolating from prior risk patterns. High/medium/>high refers to the intensity of response displayed by the prey when exposed to the predator cues.
