As you enter into this part you were randomly assigned to a group of 250 participants.

This first part of the experiment consists of 2 phases: a learning phase and a recall phase.

In the learning phase, you will be asked to remember 27 word pairs, each of which contains two words, as much as you can. The screen will show each word pair for just one second, so there are 27 seconds to show all word pairs in total.

After the learning phase, there is a recall phase. In the recall phase, the instruction page stays on the screen for 20 seconds, then 27 word pairs from the learning phase will be shown on the screen one by one again but with one word missing. You will be asked to type the correct matched word in the blank box as you remember from the learning phase in 8 seconds.

The more words you are able to answer correctly, the higher your earnings in this task. If you are the best among all participants in your group (top 10%), you will earn 300 tokens, and for each subsequent rank the number of tokens earned decreases by 30. For example:

Ties will be broken randomly. Hence, it is in your interest to provide as many correct answers as possible.

Note: The correct answers to all questions imply that the first letter of the word you type can be upper or lower case, but the other letters must be lower case. For example, if the word pair "Dad – Mom" shows the hint word "Dad" on the screen, the correct answer should be "Mom" or "mom". Other answers cannot be regarded as correct. You will get full credit only if you type the correct matched word in the pair. Blank boxes without answers are considered incorrect.

As you enter into this part you were randomly assigned to a group of 250 participants.

This first part of the experiment consists of a guessing task. In this task, the 26 letters of the alphabet are displayed on the screen one by one in order. Your task is to guess the uppercase or lowercase of each letter. Only one form (either uppercase or lowercase) is correct for each letter with 50% probability. For example, if the page shows "G or g?", the correct answer is either "G" with 50% probability or "g" with 50% probability. You will be asked to type the letter in the blank box as the form you guess.

The more letters you are able to guess correctly, the higher your earnings in this task. Based on the number of correct letters you type, if you are the best among all participants in your group (top 10%), you will earn 300 tokens, and for each subsequent rank the number of tokens earned decreases by 30. For example:

You will get full credit only if you type the correct letters. Blank boxes without answers are considered incorrect.
