What this task explores
Gather evidence. Update beliefs. Make a choice.
Gone Fishin' is designed to examine probabilistic reasoning, evidence accumulation, belief updating and decision-making under uncertainty. It includes jumping-to-conclusions-related research measures used at the group and study level.
How it works
Participant experience
Participants gather information across a fishing scene, deciding when they have seen enough evidence to commit to a choice. Their sampling behaviour reveals how they balance evidence, confidence and decision thresholds.
Example measures
What may be recorded
- Choices
- Reaction times
- Amount of evidence gathered
- Trial-by-trial belief updating
- Decision confidence
- Adjustments to changing evidence
Research context
Being evaluated carefully
Gone Fishin' is being used and evaluated in research contexts. Jumping-to-conclusions-related measures are interpreted at the research level and are not used to label individual participants.
MindMetrics is under research and development. It is not a standalone diagnostic test and does not provide medical advice.
