How did you feel after this trial?

People may feel confused or frustrated by an extinction trial. You might see an increase in behavior initially (perhaps you clicked a lot of the symbols trying to get a reward/avoid a punisher.) Eventually people stop trying. (They may come back later and check to see if the system works again.) With only 6 items, that may not have happened yet to you.
