Fig. 4. Fitted weights quantifying the impact of the lateral and transition biases onto animals decisions.
Influence of past events on current choice when separately fitting the choices in trials after a correct (orange) or an error response (black). a GLM weights of previously rewarded (r+, left panel) and unrewarded (r−, right panel) responses. These kernels quantify the influence on choice of the side (left vs. right) of previous responses. b Weights of previous transitions (repetition vs. alternation) computed separately for T++ (a rewarded trial followed by a rewarded trial), T−+ (error-rewarded), T+− (rewarded-error), and T−− (error-error). Strong positive weighting of T++ transitions after-correct responses revealed that animals tended to reproduce previous repetitions and alternations between two consecutive rewarded trials. Points in a and b show median coefficients across animals (n = 10) and error bars indicate first and third quartiles. c Transition kernels for individual animals show the ubiquity across subjects of the reset of the kernel after errors. Some weights at trial lags 1 and 2 are not shown because of existing indeterminacies between regressors (see Supplementary Methods Section 2.3).
