Schematic of experiment 2. (A) Target transitional probability (TP; i.e., high [75%]) and low [25%]) was decided by the conditional probability of each target following a cue. In terms of individual targets, the predictiveness of cues (i.e., high [75%], low [25%], and zero [0%]) was determined by the levels of probability in which each cue predicted that target. (B) The distribution of trial numbers in different preceding target TP ([red shading] high, [green shading] low) and cue predictiveness ([red border] high, [green border] low, [gray border] zero) conditions for each block. (C) Mean accuracy rates (bar chart) and mean reaction times (line chart) for detecting high-TP and low-TP targets in the target detection task. Error bars indicate standard errors. (D) Mean accuracy rates (bar chart) and mean reaction times (line chart) for identifying high-predictive, low-predictive, and zero-predictive cue probes after high-TP and low-TP targets in the probe identification task. Error bars indicate standard errors.
