The number of trials to criterion reflected the performance during the 5 stages of the test: simple discrimination (SD), compound discrimination (CD), intradimensional shifting (IDS), reversal learning (RL) and extradimensional set-shifting (EDS). compared to the CON group at the corresponding stages.
