Predictive coding and performance accuracy. Example sessions in the top row use boxes to depict correct (filled) and error (empty) trials in LFR (black) and HFR (gray) sessions: red boxes indicate excluded trials. A, Overall mean performance was equivalent in nine complete LFR and 12 HFR sessions (bottom left, mean ±SEM). In these performance-matched sessions, predictive coding was more common in LFR than HFR, whereas retrospective coding was equally common (bottom right). B, Each block in every LFR session was truncated when rats performed 10/14 correct trials (black) to match the performance in full HFR sessions (gray). Predictive coding (left) was more common in LFR than in HFR in these performance matched sessions, whereas retrospective coding was equally common (right).
