Your task in 28 days:
You have now completed today's transcription task. Note that we randomly selected 9 other participants from this study who also solved a transcription task consisting of 10 sequences (just as you did). Together with these 9 participants you now form a group of 10 participants.
In {{ Constants.days_double }} days, each participant in your group will have to solve another transcription task consisting of a unique number of sequences. The number of sequences varies from participant to participant.
Who has to solve how many sequences will be determined in the following way:
Each participant will have to solve {{ Constants.base_tasks }} sequences correctly, plus a unique number of additional sequences.
There are 10 possibilities for the unique number of additional sequences a group member must solve in {{ Constants.days_double }} days.
Each group member will be randomly assigned to solve either 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, or 80 additional sequences correctly.
Importantly, each possibility is only assigned once in your group, that is, no two group members will have to solve the same number of additional sequences in {{ Constants.days_double }} days. For example, if one member of the group is randomly assigned to solve 72 transcription tasks in total (=40+32), no other member in your group will be assigned to solve 72 sequences tasks in total, and each possible number of sequences to be solved is equally likely to be assigned to you.
To make sure you understand the procedure, please answer two short comprehension questions. {% formfield player.matching_control_1 %} {% formfield player.matching_control_2 %}
You can imagine the determination of the number of additional sequences to be solved by you in 28 days in the following way: We take 10 empty sheets of paper and write on the first sheet “8 additional sequences”, on the second sheet “16 additional sequences”, on the third sheet “24 additional sequences”, …. and on the tenth sheet “80 additional sequences”. We then put each paper in identically looking envelopes and seal the envelopes. A research assistant who is unaware of which sheet is in which envelope then randomly draws an envelope, that is assigned to the first participant in your group. Afterwards, the assistant draws another envelope (from the remaining 9 envelopes), which is assigned to the second person in your group…and so on until everyone in your group was assigned exactly one envelope. This way, everyone has the same chance of having to solve 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, or 80 additional sequences, but no member of your group has to solve the same number of additional sequences.
