Before
The control groups and treatment groups perform the same task except that treatment groups get the peer information as described above from sequence two onwards whereas the control groups get no peer information. This peer information will be extracted from a subject who was in the control group and participated in the experiment in a prior session. All the treatment groups will get the information on the same subject. That is, the decision information of the peer would be the same across all the treatments and information on outcome and confidence is relevant to those decisions of the peer. This way we can isolate the effects of different pieces of information while controlling for variation in other information the subjects receive.
