Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
Our primary outcome variable is respondents' beliefs about the probability that a randomly drawn image has a certain content (word vs number) conditional on receiving information (or not) about whether the image is a certain color (blue vs orange)
|
After
Our primary outcome variable is respondents' beliefs about the probability that a randomly drawn image has a certain content (word vs number) conditional on receiving information (or not) about whether the image is a certain color (blue vs orange).
[Added after first set of experiments]: In the second part of the experiments, our primary outcome variable is respondent's beliefs about the probability that a randomly drawn word belongs to a certain category.

Secondary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
We have several secondary outcomes. We measure how confident subjects are (on a likert scale) that their probabilistic answers are correct. We also have two separate memory tasks. First, respondents are given a series of four words, and are ask "Was X (in C) among the images you were shown?" where C is a color and the word X is displayed in that color font. The correct answer to this question is always "no", and we are measuring how frequently respondents incorrectly believe that they saw the word. Our second memory task simply asks them to list all the orange words they remember having been shown.
