PACKAGE CONTENT

This package includes the following 4 scripts:
1-Locomotor-stereotypies-acquisition.txt
2-Locomotor-stereotypies-enrichment.txt
3-Temporal-dependencies-stimuli.txt
4-Mismatch-motivational-system-captive-environment.txt

All simulations were performed using these scripts. 

SIMULATIONS

The simulations were performed using these scripts together with the Learning Simulator 
program (Jonsson et al., 2021). Running a script in the program produces plots, but the 
software can also be used to generate data files. For help and further details about how 
to use the program see documents at https://learningsimulator.readthedocs.io/.

Download the Learning Simulator at https://learningsimulator.org. This learning 
simulator has the following dependencies: 

• Python >= 3.6 
• tkinter >= 8.6 
• matplotlib >= 2.1.1
