:: Sequential decision-making under uncertainty in a video game ::
  Paul Schrater, Daniel Acuna
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesotaonl
  If you agree to be in this study, we would ask you to do the following things: play games that involve decisions over uncertain rewarding alternatives. You will be asked to simultaneously play several virtual slot machines that give you points in a random fashion (much like simultaneously playing several real slot machines in a casino where you do not know which machine is the best). For each game, you will have the opportunity to pull the levers a randomly limited number of times. This is, 2 out of 100 pulls may randomly stop the current game, making you collect the points, and playing the next game. This does not mean that the probability of ending the game increases over time, but it stays fixed. For example, if you survived the pull number 4, you need to think that you have to have survived the first, second, and third pull, each of which has a 2% probability of stopping the current game. You will be asked to play 48 of these games separated into 4 stages, each of which will have different number of machines and different payoff behaviors. Keep in mind that each set of games is different for each subject. Each game typically involves 1.5 minutes of playing, but you can take as much time as you want. Moreover, you can play each game any time you want, spaced over a period of time. We would not be surprised if you play either all the games consecutively or just one per day. We expect solving all games would take 60 min of game play, but again, you can take as much time as you want.

:: Understanding Self-esteem ::
  Ista Zahn
University of Rochester
  The purpose of this study is to develop a better understanding of self-esteem. This study involves completing a survey, reading simple statements, and performing a reaction time task. This is an experimental study, meaning you will be randomly assigned to a condition. The reading task is designed to elicit a particular mood. There is a possibility that you will be asked to read statements designed to put you in a negative mood. Do not participate in this study if you are uncomfortable with the idea of reading statements that may have this effect. This study takes about 15 minutes to complete. At the end of this study, you will be able to see your self-esteem scores, including a self-esteem measure designed to tap into your subconscious attitude toward yourself. You will be able to compare your self-esteem scores to those of other people who participate in this study.

  10 Minutes. In this experiment, we are testing a relatively new hypothesis about how, on the brain system level, reading takes place. Although reading is an important topic that has been studied for many decades, there are still many questions about how people learn to read. One potential application of our research is the development of new methods of reading instruction for people with dyslexia.

In some cases, we expect that the eyes will not look very realistic, in other cases the skin or the expression may be less than convincing. Completing the entire survey will take about 30 minutes. You will be asked to judge how realistic the eyes and faces look, and how sad the faces look as a whole.
