Correlations between feedback signal parameters and apple pick performance. Only parameters that correlate highly to the performance are considered valid contributors.


Signal decline

Slope of a linear fitted line based on trials mean (lowest point) r = -.61, n = 20, p = .004 **
Mean number of scans until apple picked over trials r = -.67, n = 21, p = .001 **
Slope based on the decrease (until below ladder) divided by the number of scans r = -.69, n = 23, p < .001 **
Slope of a linear fitted line based on trials mean (first below ladder). r = -.69, n = 18, p = .001 **

Signal elevation

Slope of a linear fitted line based on trials mean (highest point) r = -.20, n = 22, p = .364
Mean number of scans until apple picked over trials r = -.56, n = 18, p = .015 *
Slope based on the decrease (until below ladder) divided by the number of scans r = .29, n = 19, p = .226
Slope of a linear fitted line based on trials mean (first above ladder). r = .57, n = 16, p = .022 *

Undershoot

Average value of undershoots r = .42, n =23, p = .044 *
Average of deepest undershoots r = .31, n = 24, p = .138
Average of undershoot area under curve r = .02, n = 19, p = .941

Overshoot

Average value of overshoots r = .47, n = 18, p = .048 *
Average of highest overshoots r = .28, n = 19, p = .252
Average of overshoot area under curve r = .06, n = 16, p = .829
