This is a solo practice run: your results stay in this browser tab and are never sent anywhere. To contribute to a class result, join a live session with a code instead.
This task is new to Classperiment and has not yet been fully tested. Issues may occur in the procedure or scoring. The expected effect may also fail to appear reliably.
Task time: 6–7 min, pauses extra
You try out two machines. Press the key or the button and try to collect points. The machines follow different rules. Each main round lasts 75 seconds. A machine keeps its rule when it appears again later. The points are game points and are not paid out. Watch how the machine responds to your actions.
Before the start you choose the space bar or an on-screen button. Keep this page in front during the rounds: switching to another window or app ends the round.
In a classroom session, the explanation and results appear after the instructor releases them.
20 seconds of practice, then 4 rounds of 75 seconds with a pause after each of the first three
