  Elizabeth Johnson, Jesse Snedeker
Harvard University
  What kinds of information do we use in our everyday language comprehension? Word order, general knowledge, intonation, emotion... and plausibility. If you hear a restaurant employee ask "Can I bake your order?" you know that the resulting interpretation is implausible. It would be much more plausible to ask "Can I take your order?" In this study, we ask you to rate the plausibility of 48 sentences describing events taking place in a playroom setting. We hope to use these ratings as the basis for a more extensive exploration of our use of plausibility in language processing.

Each questionnaire includes instructions on the type of questions that will follow and the way to respond (such as giving a rating on a 5 point scale on how much you agree with a statement from very little to a lot). These questionnaires include questions about decision making, preferences, mood, and the degree to which a number of different statements represent yourself and your approach to short term and long term decisions. When the experiment is completed you will be given more information about the research and its findings. All your responses to the questionnaires and personal information will be kept absolutely confidential. Your name will be converted to a code number, and only the anonymous group average data from all participants will be used for any published research.
Full debriefing and links to research are offered upon completion of the questionnaires.

:: 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.

  The aim of this study is to help us to make a selection of realistic-looking artificial faces for a later experiment. You will be asked to evaluate faces of 23 different virtual people. 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.

  The purpose of this experiment is to learn more about human perception of consensus in argumentative discussions. As a computer scientist, I intend to measure how close a "social validation" algorithm is from human perception of consensus. This study involves identifying and synthesizing opinions in argumentative debates. Completing the experiment should take around 30-40 minutes. You will be given a login and password, so you may interrupt the experiment at any time and come back later to finish it. Your participation will contribute to improve debates summarization algorithms, which are useful for reducing readers' cognitive load.
In order to participate in this experiment you will need the free Java Runtime Environment (a link is provided).
