Figure 8. Shows RT differentials associated with the probability that a given
target, drawn from a set of two, will appear. Ordinate values are RT (infrequent
target)-RT (frequent target); larger differences are associated with speedier
responses to the frequent target. When the target probabilities are equal
(50%), the difference is negligible. The difference is sizeable
when one of the targets appears on the majority of trials, and this effect
is seen in sessions when no responses are reinforced (Ext).
