Diagnosis Task
The participant's task in this diagnosis context is to examine a subset of the large number of cases below to determine the diagnostic validity of mammograms for a particular set of patients. Positive and negative mammogram results are indicated by M+ and M- on the cards when they are first displayed and correspond to the colors yellow (for warning) and white, respectively. Actual cancer or not is indicated by C+ and C- on the "reverse" of the cards displayed when clicked and correspond to the colors red (for danger) and greent (for OK). The constructors for the four types of cards are:
add(new Card("M+",Color.yellow,"C+",Color.red,12));
add(new Card("M+",Color.yellow,"C-",Color.green,12));
add(new Card("M-",Color.white,"C+",Color.red,12));
add(new Card("M-",Color.white,"C-",Color.green,12));
The additional "12" parameter indicates the smaller font size necessary to be able to
display a large number of cards.
