A weighted constraint satisfaction approach to human goal-directed decision making
Fig 3
Initial path choices and the associated response times reflected joint consideration of myopic and future constraints.
A. Path choices in trials with equally optimal initial directions. The value for NT trials was defined to be 0 since there was neither a myopic nor a future advantage on these trials. B. Path choices in trials where one of the initial directions was optimal. The proportion of optimal trials for each individual was converted into a probit score. If the individual probit score was larger than 3 or smaller than -3, it was capped at 3 or -3 before averaging. C. Response times associated with the first step. The individual medians of zscored response times were projected back to the raw time scale in seconds using group average mean response times and group average standard deviations. Trial advantage types: NT = neutral advantage, SA = single advantage, CA = congruent advantage, IA = incongruent advantage. mAdv = myopic advantage. -m and -f indicates the larger advantage. Error bars indicate bootstrapped 95% confidence limits.
