Affect-congruent attention modulates generalized reward expectations
Fig 2
A. The simple cue test evidenced no significant between-groups differences in choice accuracy (i.e., proportion of trials on which the higher-value cue was chosen). B. As expected, there was a significant effect of affect-induction videos on self-reported mood valence (β = 2.63, p < .001; mood reports standardized within subject with reference to the average between-block mood change in the learning blocks, where no videos were presented). C. In the compound-generalization phase, there were no significant between-groups differences in choice accuracy (the proportion of trials in which the compound with the higher mean value was chosen). D. There was, however, a significant between-groups difference in preference for the L/H stimulus as opposed to the M/M stimulus in compound probe trials (β = 0.79, p < .001). E. There was also a significant between-groups difference in preference for the L/H stimulus as opposed to the M cue in simple probe trials (β = 0.56, p = .004). F. Preference for the L/H stimulus in simple probe trials and preference for the L/H stimulus in compound probe trials were positively correlated (Spearman ρ = .81, p < .001). Dot color reflects participant condition as per subplots A-E. For all panels, groups are presented as mean ± 95% CI. Points in scatterplots represent condition means for individual participants, and are jittered to prevent overplotting (horizontal jitter in subplots A-D, 2% horizontal and vertical jitter in subplot F).
