A Surprise-Quiz View of Learning in Economic Experiments
通过实验数据研究被试在参与多轮经济实验后学到了什么。实验结束时安排一个未事先告知的突击测验，结合之前的行为时间序列，判断被试的学习内容。发现不同的支付方式会影响被试的学习重点和表现。
We use experimental data to investigate what subjects have learned after participating in an economic experiment for many periods. At the end of our experiments subjects are given another experiment to perform which functions like a surprise quiz since they had not been informed about its existence before. The results of this surprise-quiz round, along with the time-series of their responses before the quiz, allow us to judge what they have learned. We find that depending on the manner in which subjects are paid, they attempt to learn different aspects of the experimental task and perform differently.
