Fixation histograms In these figures we show histograms of first and middle fixation durations for all trials, as well as for trials with different levels of difficulty, along with their best log-normal fits.

Alternative model predictions In these figures we show the predictions of the three alternative models from the text with different model parameter values to show that adjusting them does not help the models fit all the moments of the data.

This bias measure takes the average difference between the two curves in Fig. 5a. With d and σ fixed at their values ( and 0.02) from the group-level analysis, a subject with θ =1 would show a bias of 0 (first bin with 1 subject), a subject with θ = 0.3 would show a bias of 0.47 (fifth bin with 9 subjects), and a subject with θ = 0 would show a bias of 0.58 (sixth bin with 5 subjects). 15

Fixation-distribution fitting. Best fitting parameters for various statistical distributions that were fit to the fixation data. The log-normal distributions consistently provided the best fit, as indicated by gray shading. Each row indicates the fit for either all the trials, or for only those trials with a particular absolute difference in liking ratings. In a couple cases the gamma distribution would not fit the data, resulting in a value of NaN. 34
