Stress stress stress!
Working in a group can be very difficult, it's hard to make sure our writing flows and blends together. We all have different writing styles.
The four papers we had to look at and talk about as a group on our wiki page were:
Fox, C.R., & Hadar, L. (2006). “Decisions from experience” = sampling error + prospect theory: Reconsidering Hertwig, Barron, Weber & Erev (2004). Judgment and Decision Making, 1 (2), 159-161
Hadar, L., & Fox, C.R. (2009). Information asymmetry in decision from description versus decision from experience. Judgment and Decision Making, 4 (4), 317–325
Hertwig, R., Barron, G., Weber, E.U., & Erev, I. (2004). Decisions from experience and the effect of rare events in risky choice. Psychological Science, 15 (8), 534-539
Shafir, S., Reich, T., Tsur, E., Erev, I., & Lotem, A. (2008). Perceptual accuracy and conflicting effects of certainty on risk-taking behaviour. Nature, 453, 917-920
These were all about decisions from experience. Some of the papers compared decisions from experience with decisions from description, and the choices participants made with the two different conditions, and whether they would choose the higher expected value.

Week 11
This week we had to do our presentation.
I think we managed to make it exactly 10 minutes long, which is how long it was supposed to be.
My results section was probably the shortest speech ever! I hope that it was fine, I was very worried about the fact that my section went very quickly!
I particularly enjoyed the question and answer section at the end, because I actually knew the answers to the questions and was able to participate more.
I really enjoyed some of the slides that the other groups had made for their presentations.
There were some with very nice colour schemes, and well thought out and entertaining animations. My favourite animation was on one of the slides where a bee flew into a flower to collect nectar.
I thought the other groups made a good effort on their presentations.
During the Christmas holiday our group will be writing our parts for our final wiki page.
We will re-group on the first week back to put it all togehter and edit it.
From our last page we found that our wrirint styles were very different, so the page we made, did not flow very well, and did not work as a whole.
We decided that we needed to look through it together and make sure parts get re-worded and re-structured.

Week 10
This week we watched the first lot of presentations from some of the groups.
Some presentations were rather long!
Our group decided that we have to make sure our presentation is within the time limit.
We set out to prepare our slides and speeches.
I was in charge of the results section. Which was very short, since there weren't a lot of results to report.
