Applied Cognition Lab - Prolific Researcher Reviews

This study seemed a bit crazy to me since they mentioned there may be very graphic and distressing material, but were only paying £3.80 for 35 minutes- but I decided to try it since there wasn't much going on. The little intro text made me feel that was a mistake, as they mention that you must immediately begin the study once you choose to participate and they'll detect if you use AI, etc. I continued to the captcha anyways, but that's as far as they let me get. The next page just said "We regret to inform you that you have not met our eligibility criteria and are therefore ineligible to complete this survey. Please return your submission with this code, as it will not be approved:" And then it had a completion code. However, I just canceled my submission because it seemed very suspicious and I wasn't about to get a rejection for that. Very weird study.

Horribly ran study, with countless attention checks even before the study starts. Threatens you with rejection over and over again, and will kick you out of the study if you take more than a minute on a page, but will threaten to reject you if you don't remember something from a previous page. No respect to participants who are trying to participate in good faith.
