(A) Example of a single trial of delayed-response WM tasks. Participants were given 4 sec to encode a series of letters (i.e., goal-relevant stimuli). Participants needed to maintain these goal-relevant stimuli over an 8-sec delay period. Participants were then given 4 sec to respond via a dominant-hand, button press (no = index finger, yes = middle finger) whether a retrieval cue-letter matched a letter in the encoded set. Note that perceptual load was balanced across WM task epochs. Participants were instructed only to respond during retrieval cueing. (B) Example of single trial from IPT and different response feedback conditions. Participants were shown a cue and given 1.5 sec to guess whether a forthcoming number (0–9) was greater than or less than 5. Response feedback was experimentally controlled so that task blocks featured either mostly reward or loss feedback.
