Rouge person would jump out at the person every time. Risky person would jump out at you every few times. Safe person: the rouge person would attract attention because they pose a threat to you, participants used scene statistics learning things from the environment, applying it and determining the likelihood of something happening. In some trials, they flashed a small dot on one side before the gratings appeared.
