WebIDB

This applet implements a web version of an information display board as used in many studies of decision making.

Note: because of Java security issues of reading files from a computer, this applet will not work if this page is opened in a browser directly. The page must be loaded from a server, either running on the local machine or afar. This page is available at http://psych.colorado.edu/~mcclella/JavaATI/webIDB.html

Move your mouse over the cells below to reveal the details of the three gambles or lotteries. The form of each gamble is winning amout $W with probability p and losing amount $L with probability 1 - p.

Select the lottery you would most like to play by clicking on its name.

This applet illustrates the use of param tags to control various aspects of how and what the applet displays. The following is the segment of the html code on this page that loads the applet:
