RA (Risk & Ambiguity task)

- *High-level task description*: This task consists of “loss” blocks
and “gains” blocks. In “loss” blocks, users are asked to choose
which loss they’d prefer: a guaranteed loss of $5 (represented as
-$5), or a lottery that results in loss of $0 or loss of an amount
of money greater in magnitude than $5. In “gains” blocks, users are
asked which gain they’d prefer: a guaranteed gain of $5, or a
lottery that results in *a gain* of either $0 or some positive
amount of money. The choice is displayed for 6 seconds; afterwards,
(as indicated by the green dot), the user has 3.5 seconds to submit
their choice.

- **Keys**: \[5/%\] to begin a block; \[1/!\] for the left option
and \[2/@\] for the right option.
