Magnitude-sensitive reaction times reveal non-linear time costs in multi-alternative decision-making

Empirical results from the slime mould experiment.
Decreasing latencies to reach a food source as a function of the magnitude of the equal alternatives. X-axis presents the concentration in egg yolk of equal food sources (20, 40, 60, 80 g.L−1). Y-axis presents mean latency to reach a food source, in minutes. Bars show 95% confidence intervals. 50 slime moulds were tested for each magnitude for a total of 200 slime moulds.
