Pearson’s r between the slope of the verbal response and measures of performance variability for whole body lean. Utility (α) denotes risk sensitivity with α < 1 showing risk-averse behavior and α > 1 showing risk-seeking behavior. Frequency of risky choices was quantified as the ratio of number of times the riskier option was chosen. Slope of the verbal response represents the linear relation between participant estimates of ability to pass through the target throughout the range of presented target widths. A: slope of the perceived probability and utility (α). B: slope of the perceived probability and the frequency of risky choices. Shaded area about the regression line denotes the SE of the regression.
