This study is part of a larger project examining the Positive-Skew Bias across Adulthood - https://osf.io/jk62d/ People across the lifespan have been seen to prefer positively-skewed gambles—that is, those where there is a small chance of winning a large amount of money coupled with a large chance of losing a small to moderate amount of money. Older adults have seen to prefer them even more. In this study, we test the hypothesis that age-related increase in positive skew bias is related to the positivity effect—the increased attention to and memory for positive information seen in later life. We use a skewed gambling task that has memory probes to ask what participants remember about the choices they just made.
