ICC, Intraclass correlation coefficient. Within-person correlations are displayed below the diagonal; between-person correlations are displayed above the diagonal. 1Proportion of correct answers per person (range = 0.20–0.85, and 0.25–0.75 in Studies 1 and 2, respectively). 2Mean of the sum score of explorations (range 0–3). On average, participants answered 8.76 (SD = 2.75; Study 1) and 10.50 (SD = 2.50; Study 2) out of 20 questions incorrectly. For these incorrectly answered items, on average they explored 1.48 (SD = 1.02; Study 1) and 1.15 (SD = 0.79; Study 2) pieces of information. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
