A. Mean proportion of safe choices for five consecutive blocks of 20 choices each. Results are shown for priming conditions, separately. B. Mean proportion of deck choices (A, B, C, D) for five consecutive blocks of 20 choices each. The proportions are averaged over the three priming conditions. The figure shows that deck A was avoided (irrespective of priming condition, see result section). In both cases, vertical bars denote one standard error of the mean.

Mean and standard deviation for each deck choices represented by conditions and by blocks.

On the balloon, the number of button presses (without the balloon exploding) during the ongoing trial was indicated. The size of the balloon increased with an increasing number of points (i.e. number of mouse clicks on the balloon). Below (“collecter 6 points”), the participant could see the number of points s/he would win if stopping the trial now (clicking on “collecter 6 points”). On the right, the participant could see the column rising; depending on how many points s/he collected across trials. To promote competiveness, participants saw the three best scores of “previous” players on the same column (1ier, 2ième and 3ième). Unknown to participants, these top scores had been set by us and were the same for each participant.
