Task Choices
Proportion of high probability choices. Subjects can choose between two options, one of which is rewarded at a higher probability than the other at a ratio of 6:1. The number of trials varied, so a proportion of total trials is reported.
Time frame: Tasks will take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. Participants will complete 6 sessions in which a choice task will be administered.
