Experiments

Below is a list of Judgment and Decision Making experiments currently being run at UCL. If you are interested in participating in one or more of the experiments, or would simply like more information, then please do not hesitate to contact the researcher responsible for any given experiment by clicking on the appropriate link.

Trust and advice

Judgmental control

Trust in advice on risky activities

A series of experiments which pay three pounds for sessions that last approximately twenty minutes. Most of the experiments do not have any requirements, although to participate in some of them you must not have participated in any implicit learning experiments before. The experiments involve judging the riskiness of a series of activities, based upon advice from multiple advisors.

If you are interested in taking part in any of these studies, please reply to this post (m.twyman@ucl.ac.uk). Please specify at least two days/times that it would suit you to come in for a 20-minute session. You would meet me in room 200, on the 2nd floor of the psychology department.

If you have any other queries about the experiments, please feel free to reply to this post,
or call me at 0207 679 7570.

Judgmental Control

People often have to use their judgment to decide how to alter some feature of a situation to ensure that a desired outcome is obtained (i.e. gain control of a complex system.) We are currently collecting data to identify what is it about the behaviour of a system that makes control of it hard to achieve? If you are interested in learning to control an orbiting satellite or, perhaps, manage a patient during surgery - you can email me: d.forrest@ucl.ac.uk to arrange a time. The task takes approximately 20-30 minutes and you will earn £3.00.
