The predicted data for various combinations of prior distribution and decision function for Experiments 1 and 2.

<p>The first row shows how a strongly bimodal distribution would be represented by each type of prior after training, with the categorical distribution reflecting the true prior distribution. The remaining rows of plots each show conditional response distributions (CRDs), in which the area of each square represents the expected response probability given a particular presented number of dots. The prior in the first row is combined with each row’s decision function to produce the CRDs.
