I deleted your post because you ...Sorry @Anonymous. I deleted your post because you referred to the details of the experiment. I prefer to keep details relevant to the hypothesis to a minimum while an experiment is ongoing.<br /><br /><br />Though one detail that was OK was saying that you wish there had been a way -- in the part of the experiment that required you to rank order sentences -- if one could have just pressed a button to move things up and down...<br /><br />...and I was so proud of how the experiment *did* work! The programming was not trivial and a vast improvement over what I normally do (I'm not a programmer by training or temperament). But it's a good idea, and I think now that I've worked out the code for the method that I did use, I can implement your idea on future versions.GamesWithWordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107067137612954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701757403364514168.post-75346614611512019392011-02-20T20:58:01.742-05:002011-02-20T20:58:01.742-05:00@outerhoard: Odd, I thought I checked that link.

You would, however, find out how good you are at speculating, which might be better than you think.GamesWithWordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107067137612954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701757403364514168.post-2811654157957467162011-02-20T08:18:59.270-05:002011-02-20T08:18:59.270-05:00Note: The first link to the study is broken.

But the second one, at the end of the post, is correct.<br /><br />I didn't do the whole experiment because, honestly, it made me feel uncomfortable. I think this is because I'm not accustomed to thinking or caring much about what the average person thinks, and find it embarrassing to be seen speculating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701757403364514168.post-24334970805914385962011-02-16T17:25:46.421-05:002011-02-16T17:25:46.421-05:00I appreciate you alerting me. The kind of bug you ...I appreciate you alerting me. The kind of bug you are referring to is a bug with Adobe Flash or your browser, not with the program itself. I have colleagues who use Javascript instead, but they also run into similar issues. It seems like this kind of bug affects around 1% of participants, though it's hard to know because they don't usually tell me!<br /><br />If this comes up for anybody, my suggestion is that you try changing the size of your browser window. When I test locally on my system, this sometimes comes up and that solves the problem. I have never heard of this happening within a browser before, though. <br /><br />Has anyone else seen this?GamesWithWordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107067137612954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701757403364514168.post-14533308024222746702011-02-16T15:53:07.967-05:002011-02-16T15:53:07.967-05:00Hi Joshua,
