This project involves a series of experiments to study the effects of monetary incentives on the performance of a mental arithmetic "production" task. The nature of the contingencies will be varied to create an experimental design comparing the effects of large, medium, and small monetary payoffs in piece rate, variable ratio, quota, and tournament incentive schemes, including flat hourly wage conditions. To a much greater extent than in previous research, we will measure the effects of incentive scheme contingency and size of monetary award on the fine-grained structure of behavior. It is expected that the results of this systematic study will lead to well-calibrated tasks which can be used in other experimental studies of incentive effects which should yield to greater generalizability of research findings.

该项目包括一系列实验，以研究货币激励对心算“生产”任务的影响。意外情况的性质将有所不同，以创建一个实验设计，比较计件工资、可变比率、配额和锦标赛激励计划(包括固定的小时工资条件)中大、中、小货币回报的影响。与以往的研究相比，我们将在更大程度上衡量激励计划偶然性和货币奖励规模对行为细粒度结构的影响。预计这项系统研究的结果将导致经过良好校准的任务，可用于其他关于激励效应的实验研究，从而使研究结果具有更大的普遍性。
