LEARNING BY DOING

I stepped into a researcher's world this week and had the great opportunity to participate with Jim Engle-Warnick, PhD, in conducting a decision-making experiment with human subject volunteers that tests the affect of participation on social learning. Learning By Doing is the name of the experiment. In particular, we're looking at the affect of social learning in preferences toward risk and ambiguity.

With this laboratory study, people have the opportunity to discuss decision-making problems that reveal their preferences. In one case people participate in their social learning experience and in the other case people view a past social learning experience.


This experiment is being conducted at CIRANO, a Montreal-based think tank, where Jim is a VP.
