  • Basic controls include indicator variables for each subject, choice number, and number of juice/water squirts in the previous delivery period. Coefficients indicate the effect of a change in activity on the probit index, whereas dF/dx gives the marginal effect of a change of each region's activity at its mean on the probability of choosing early. Statistical significance takes into account clustering of standard errors by subject. Choices for which (D, D′) = (0, 1) are excluded from these regressions.
