Figure 3. Female-biased early side preference did not speed decision making.

Figure 3.

A) Predominantly using the early side preference, females responded slower during early learning. See also Figure S2. B) Average reaction time of both sexes when choosing a preferred side and a nonpreferred side across bins of 150 trials. C) Correlation analyses revealed a significant positive correlation between PC2 scores and reaction time. D) One-sample t-test was conducted across bins to compare the difference in reaction time (RT) between rewarded and unrewarded trials to 0 (when there is no effect of past outcome on the reaction time). Male mice have significant RT effects on the last reward. There was no difference in reaction time between rewarded and unrewarded trials in female mice. E) Average RT difference following a rewarded vs. an unrewarded trial across all trials. Overall, male responded faster when the last trial was rewarded than unrewarded. Data shown as bins of 150 trials. * indicates p < 0.05. Graphs depict mean ± SEM.
