Differential monetary gains and losses and event probability in a two-choice situation.

Abstract
Ss were run under light combinations of π (probability of the more frequent event) and monetary gain and loss for 400 trials in a noncontingent 2-choice situation. All curves rose above π, monetary incentive yielded greater percent prediction of the more frequent event, and 1 and 10 gains and losses had similar effects. A Markoff model of choice behavior, which assumes that a stimulus element may be weakly or strongly conditioned to each response, was successful in predicting asymptotic response percentages.
