          You are being invited to take part in a research study. Before you decide to participate in this study,
            it is important that you understand why the research is being done and what it will involve.
            Please take the time to read the following information carefully.
            Please ask the researcher if there is anything that is not clear or if you need more information.
          </p>

          <h5>Purpose of the research</h5>

          <p class="block-text">
          This project aims to collect data that can be used to evaluate formal accounts of causal learning,
            categorization, and language learning and to track how knowledge about these areas is
            transformed when passed from person to person.
          </p>

          <h5>Study Procedures</h5>

          <p class="block-text">
          You will be presented with some information (e.g., a written narrative, hypothetical scenarios,
            or scientific data) and will then be asked to make one or more judgments about that information,
            or decisions based upon it. In some cases you will be asked to provide explanations or justifications
            for your responses, typically in the form of a short paragraph. The task will not involve deception
            or emotionally disturbing materials - just simple questions about categories, causal relationships,
            and languages.
          </p>

          <p class="block-text">
          The task you will perform will be one or more of the following:
          <ol>
            <li>Being shown a set of members of a category, and then asked to indicate which other objects
              are likely to belong to the category.
            <li>Being presented a sequence of pictures or sounds, and being asked to predict the next item in the sequence.
            <li>Being told a set of words in a language, and then making judgments about whether other words belong to the language.
            <li>Being shown statistical information about the interaction of causes and effects, and then making judgments
          about the causal relationships involved.
            <li>Observing a set of events or reading a description or information, and then evaluating the
          probability of events or statements.
            <li>Being presented with one or more visual puzzles and re-arranging elements on a screen to solve them. &nbsp;
            <li>Being presented with visual stimuli and making a quantitative or qualitative judgment on the basis of said stimuli.
            <li>Interacting with one or more participants about shared stimuli using a chat box.
          </ol>
          The answers you provide in the task may be used as stimuli for future participants.
          However, data that would identify you will not be shared with other participants.
          </p>

          <p>Your total expected time commitment for this study is: 12-15 minutes.</p>

          <h5>Benefits and Risks</h5>
          <p class="block-text">
          There are no direct benefits to you as a participant; however, by furthering our understanding of
            human cognition, this research will benefit society by helping with the development of automated
            systems that can better solve problems that are computationally challenging, but that people can
            solve easily with little formal guidance.
          </p>
          <p class="block-text">
            Risks associated with participation in this study are minimal. You may feel slight discomfort
            answering some questions, but you may refrain from answering any questions that make you uncomfortable
            and may withdraw your participation at any time even after completing the experiment without penalty.
          </p>

          <h5>Confidentiality</h5>
          <p class="block-text">
            We will not be asking for any personally identifying information, and we will handle responses as
            confidentially as possible. Your name, or your Worker IDs will never be tied to your responses on
            this survey. However, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information transmitted over the
            Internet. To minimize this risk, data containing anything that might be personally identifiable
            (e.g. Worker IDs) will be encrypted on transfer and storage and will only be accessible to qualified
            lab personnel. We will be keeping data collected as part of this experiment indefinitely. This anonymized
            data (containing neither Worker IDs nor IP addresses) may be shared with the scientific community
            and corporate sponsors.
          </p>

          <h5>Compensation</h5>
          <p class="block-text">
          For your participation, you will receive $2.00, plus a bonus of up to $2.00.
          </p>
          <p class="block-text">
          If you are on Mturk and for any reason you do not complete the study (e.g. technical difficulties, or
            a desire to stop), we will only be able to pay you if you send an email through MTurk,
            or by emailing the researcher, <strong>anonymized</strong>, at <strong>anonymized</strong>.edu. &nbsp;
            If you have any questions about the study, feel free to contact <strong>anonymized</strong> or the
            Principal Investigator, <strong>anonymized</strong>, at <strong>anonymized</strong>.edu. &nbsp;
