Fig. 6. Task and results for Experiment 3.

Fig. 6

a The same stimuli as in Experiment 2 were used in Experiment 3 but the task was slightly different. Subjects always reported the dominant symbol among all six alternatives. However, on 40% of the trials in which they gave a wrong answer, subjects were given the opportunity to make a second guess. b Mean accuracy for the second answer observed in the actual data (white bar), predicted by the population model (light gray bar), predicted by the Summary & Random Choice model (dark gray bar), and predicted by the Summary & Strategic Choice model (black bar). The predictions of the three models were derived based on subjects’ first answers. All p values are derived from two-sided paired t tests. Error bars represent SEM, n = 10. c Individual subjects’ differences in the accuracy of the second answer between each model’s prediction and the observed data. d AIC difference between the population and the two summary models. Positive AIC values indicate that the summary model provides a better fit to the data. Each dot represents one subject. The red triangle indicates the average AIC difference.
