Imagine that at West High School, there’s a math class taught by Mrs. S.

We will give you some information about this class and the students taking it. You will then be asked to make some predictions.

We try hard to make our HITs enjoyable, so please reward us by paying attention and reading our instructions and questions carefully.

Thank you!

Before you start, you will see three practice trials to familiarize you with the slider bars that we use in our task. This helps us calibrate the sliders to your responses.



On each trial, you will see a display that contains blue and red dots. Please adjust the slider to reflect the proportion of red/blue dots in the display.




Please adjust the slider to indicate the proportion of red/blue dots in the display.
