Table 2.

Means (standard deviations) of stimulus parameters in the two blocks of the temporal learning task in the IBL and ECL conditions. Test statistics for the comparisons between parameters in the two blocks are also reported. IBL internally-based learning, ECL externally-cued learning. ^aNon-parametric analyses were performed because the assumption of the normality of the distribution was violated
