Figure 3.
Rats quickly adapt when reinforcement contingencies change every three days. (A) Adaptation to new reward contingencies over five blocks. The panel depicts P(RL) of an example animal over time. Horizontal dotted lines represent P(RL) which would perfectly match P(RfL) within each block. Vertical lines separate blocks of conditions. (B) Matching behavior after three days of constant contingencies for all three animals. Regression lines were fitted to the data separately for each animal using Equation (2). Dotted black main diagonal represents the strict matching relation.
