Fig 3. Negative serial dependence after nonresponse trials.

Results of Experiment 3 showing that ΔS had an opposite effect after catch trials (40%) or response trials (60%). Positive serial dependence was observed after responses (green curve and green shaded bar), whereas negative aftereffects emerged after catch trials (blue curve and blue shaded bar). The magnitude of negative and positive dependencies (α) was significantly different (blue versus green bar, right bar plot). The raw data are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2544946. ΔS, delta stimulus.
