Probe task structure and licking behavior. (a) Structure of probe trials. A single placeholder was present at the location opposite the RF during the inter-trial interval, making the location of the informative RC and the saccade target. A trial began as before with presentation of an informative RC followed by a 600 ms delay period. Simultaneous with target onset, a behaviorally-irrelevant probe was flashed inside the RF. The probe was flashed for 80 ms and extinguished before the onset of the saccade. (b) Licking behavior during the probe task. Percentage of time spent licking (mean ± SEM over all probe sessions; n = 34) immediately before juice delivery (or the equivalent time on RC− trials) as a function of the expected reward predicted by the informative RC (x-axis) and the valence of the probe (blue: probe RC+, red: probe RC−).
