Table 1. Summary of the Pavlovian Contingencies Across the Four Experiments.

Outcome 1 Outcome 2 No Snack

Left Right Left Right
Exp. 1 & 3 CS+ L 70 % 15 % 0 % 0 % 15 %
CS+ R 15 % 70 % 0 % 0 % 15 %
CS – 15 % 15 % 0 % 0 % 70 %

Exp. 2 & 4 CS 1+ L 70 % 10 % 10 % 0 % 10 %
CS 1+ R 10 % 70 % 0 % 10 % 10 %
CS 2+ L 10 % 0 % 70 % 10 % 10 %
CS 2+ R 0 % 10 % 10 % 70 % 10 %
CS - 10 % 10 % 10 % 0 % 70 %
CS - 0 % 10 % 10 % 10 % 70 %

Note. CS+ L = Positively conditioned stimulus left; CS+ R = Positively conditioned stimulus right; CS- = Negatively conditioned stimulus; Exp. = Experiment. In Experiment 2 outcome 1 was a video of the delivery of a salty snack and outcome 2 was a video of the delivery of a sweet snack, whereas in Experiment 3 outcome 1 was a video of the delivery of a snack and outcome 2 was a video of the empty experimenter’s hand.
