Performance-gated deliberation: A context-adapted strategy in which urgency is opportunity cost

PGD model fit to NHP behaviour for non-stationary α-dynamics reported in Ref. [25].
(A) Block length sequence used in the experiment. (b,c) decision times (dots) aligned on the context-switching event type (fast-to-slow in gray; slow-to-fast in color) and averaged. Shaded regions are the standard error bounds of the models’ average decision times. (D) Error evaluated on a -plane cut through the parameter space at the best-fitting
and
(gray area indicates timescales within an order of magnitude of the end of the experiment). Contours show the first 10 contours incrementing by 0.01 error from the minimum (shown as a circle marker). Colors refer to subject, as in (B) and (C). (E) Same for
