The Bakkour Memory and Decision Lab is recruiting participants for a paid, in-person study about learning and decision making. You will be playing a computer game called “The Robot Game”, in which you will act as a gold prospector in space. Your task will be to learn which of your robots are the best at collecting gold, and try to earn as much gold as possible. Anyone aged 18-35 and fluent in English is welcome to participate!
