                    Invitation to take part
                </h3>

                <p>You are invited to take part in a research study, which
                    aims to further our understanding of why we can learn
                    some pieces of information more quickly than others.
                    Please read the following information sheet carefully.
                    You can save a copy of this page for your records by
                    clicking on <a href="./InfoSheetConsentForm.pdf"
                        target="_blank" download>this link</a>.</p>

                <p>The study is being conducted by student researchers
                    Sophie Johnson (sj483@sussex.ac.uk), Holly Beattie
                    (hb518@sussex.ac.uk), Ophelia Greener
                    (opug20@sussex.ac.uk), Chloe Munden
                    (cm2028@sussex.ac.uk) and project supervisor Dr Sam
                    Berens (s.berens@sussex.ac.uk). They are based within
                    the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex
                    (UK) and are happy to be contacted if you have any
                    questions.</p>

                <h3>
                    Why have I been invited to take part and what will I do?
                </h3>

                <p>We are testing people between the ages of 18 and 40. You
                    have been selected to take part because your user
                    profile on Prolific/SONA indicates that you meet the
                    inclusion criteria.</p>

                <p>The experiment will involve a web-based trial-and-error
                    learning task, which will take approximately 20 minutes
                    to complete.</p>

                <ul style="padding-left:20px;list-style-type:circle;">
                    <li style="margin-bottom:10px;">
                        On each trial, you will see two images presented
                        side-by-side.</li>
                    <li style="margin-bottom:10px;">
                        You will then have 4 seconds to choose which of the
                        images in this pair 'wins'. Once you have selected
                        an answer you will receive feedback indicating
                        whether you were correct.</li>
                    <li style="margin-bottom:10px;">
                        The winning image in each pair will be determined by
                         a simple set of rules that you will have to figure
                         out using trial-and-error.</li>
                </ul>

                <h3>
                    Are there any risks or benefits to taking part?
                </h3>

                <p>There are no risks to taking part in this study. On
                    completion, you will receive either &pound;3.33
                    (if you were recruited via Prolific) or 1 SONA credits
                    (only applicable to students at the University of
                    Sussex). Apart from this modest compensation, there are
                    no immediate benefits to taking part.</p>


                <h3>
                    What will happen to the results and my personal
                    information?
                </h3>

                <p>The results of this research will be written into a
                    scientific report for publication, and will be presented
                    to other research scientists during academic
                    conferences. We anticipate being able to provide a
                    summary of our findings on request from 1st September
                    2026. Please contact Sophie Johnson (sj483@sussex.ac.uk)
                    if you wish to receive a copy of this report.</p>

                <p>Your anonymity will be ensured in the way described in
                    the consent form below. Please read this information
                    carefully and then, if you wish to take part, please
                    sign to show you have fully understood this information,
                    and that you consent to take part in the study.</p>
