slider task instructions

The work task

The work task you have to solve is called slider task. In the slider task, a set of sliders are presented on your screen. You can adjust the slider to any number between 0 and 100 by clicking on the slider with your mouse and dragging it to the desired position. Your task is to drag the slider to the target position. The target position for each slider is the number 50. The red number on the right hand side of the slider tells you the current position of your slider. A slider is correctly adjusted when the current position is equal to 50.

For example, in the upper slider, the current position of the slider is 27. The slider is therefore not correctly placed yet. In the second example, you can see that the slider is correctly placed, as the position of the slider is directly at the target position. All sliders you have to solve will be displayed on one screen.

In the first part of the experiment, we ask you to solve {{ Constants.trialsliders }} sliders on the screen to proceed to the next part of the experiment. You receive {{ Constants.wage_trialsliders }} for working on the task.

If this round is selected for implementation, you will have to solve {{ player.num_sliders }} sliders.

Your payoff in this round is {{ player.current_payoff }}.
