Implied estimates of mean payout across time. Data from participants’ pie charts were used to calculate each participants implied estimate of mean payout. Data shown in solid gray bars are from participants who were shown accurate payout tables including only valid outcomes. The data are split based on whether the participant persisted throughout the game in including the fictional higher-value outcomes of 15, 20, 25, and 100 pence; 8 of 26 participants given skewed payout tables included the fictional outcomes; no participants given accurate payout tables did so. Responses for the left and right machines at each judgment collection time were averaged resulting in one response per participant for each of the three judgment times.
