All behavioral variables at baseline and after D3 ligand administration in the uncued rGT, cued rGT, and CPT
| Trials | Prematures (%) | Choice latency (s) | Collection latency (s) | Omissions (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uncued rGT | 99.87 ± 8.28 | 21.05 ± 3.61 | 1.30 ± 0.23 | 1.36 ± 0.32 | 0.76 ± 0.31 |
| Cued rGT | 79.69 ± 7.40 | 23.87 ± 3.83 | 1.24 ± 0.17 | 0.84 ± 0.09 | 1.40 ± 0.86 |
| CPT | 101.04 ± 9.75 | 10.79 ± 0.67 | 2.05 ± 0.18 | 2.30 ± 0.11 | 4.58 ± 0.78 |
Baseline data broadly resembled that published previously (see recent meta-analysis by Barrus et al., 2015. Premature responding correlated with risky choice in this dataset (r(31) = 0.38, p = 0.035), although, as we have discussed before (Barrus et al., 2015), we do not believe that this relationship is causative. Although animals appeared to more quickly choose the more risky options (data not shown), this difference was not statistically significant (choice; F(3,36) = 1.82, p = 0.161) and there was no relationship between choice preference and choice latency (r = −0.001, p = 0.995). Data shown are group mean ± SEM.
