Predicting the Weather

This tutorial places you a position that is similar to that of a laboratory animal in a conditioning procedure. Given multiple cues and imperfectly correlated stimuli—four weather instruments that serve as potential conditioned stimuli—you must learn to determine which of these instruments provides information that can be used to predict if there will be "sunshine" or "rain."

There are fifty trials in this experiment; it should take approximately 20 minutes to complete this activity.
