Overall, there was a near-significant difference in RTs wherein participants took longer to choose the pain option as compared to the effort option (linear contrast, p=0.061; RT effect estimates are shown in Figure 4 and Supplementary file 1F ), supporting the notion that response behaviours can be inhibited by aversive stimuli ( Huys et al., 2011 ; Geurts et al., 2013 ), and suggesting that the prospect of pain may exhibit a stronger inhibitory influence on choices than cognitive effort.
