“I told you so” task. (A) Example of a correct trial with a negative outcome. (B) All 4 possible outcomes. The participant could be correct or incorrect in his/her advice and the outcome based on the co-actors decision could be a monetary gain or loss. If the co-actor agreed with the advice of the participant, the advice (‘YES’ or ‘NO’) was underlined. In case the co-actor disagreed with the advice, this was shown as a strikethrough. Gains were visualized by a green box, and losses by a red box. Incorrect final decisions resulted in a 10 eurocents loss, and correct trials were rewarded by a 10 eurocents gain.
