Urns Task

Risk & Decision Making ~12 min
An 'urns' or 'marbles' task examining decision-making under uncertainty and impulsivity. Participants sample colored marbles from a hidden urn and must decide which of two urns (with different color distributions) is being used. More evidence-gathering improves accuracy but costs points.
