Just Tell Me What to Do: Bringing Back Experimenter Control in Active Contingency Tasks With the Command-Performance Procedure and Finding Cue Density Effects Along the Way.
Active contingency tasks, such as those used to explore judgments of control, suffer from variability in the actual values of critical variables. The authors debut a new, easily implemented procedure that restores control over these variables to the experimenter simply by telling participants when t...

Beneteau, Jennifer L. su: Will Choice (Psychology) Locus of control sug: subj: Will Choice (Psychology) Locus of control ab: Active contingency tasks, such as those used to explore judgments of control, suffer from variability in the actual values of critical variables. The authors debut a new, easily implemented procedure that restores control over these variables to the experimenter simply by telling participants when to respond, and when to withhold responding. This command-performance procedure not only restores control over critical variables such actual contingency, it also allows response frequency to be manipulated independently of contingency or outcome frequency. This yields the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of the equivalent of a cue density effect in an active contingency task. Judgments of control are biased by response frequency outcome frequency, just as they are also biased by outcome frequency.
