I’ve not had an AI one for a long time. 😕

I've got 9 available to me at the moment but I find them tedious  so will ignore them all!

I gave in!  Have now done 2 this morning, received my £30 and still four available.  Not sure I can challenge AI at Maths though!

wow! ive not had any of these Ai ones. obviously i dont fit the criteria! And never had a study come up thats still available after about 10 seconds!!

Sounds like me, mine pop up and if I don't click on them quickly they are gone in no time. Don't remember the last time I had an AI one, must be at least 2 months ago.

Currently 10 AI studies available.  Even my husband (in another room) is getting fed up with the repeated prompts from the Prolific Assistant.

No, I'm afraid the only way with Prolific is to be totally truthful, in your profile and in your study answers.  It's not like some of the survey sites where people can get away with "gaming" their replies.

oh your right, i wasnt going to change my answers, but ive only completed 70% of it and was wondering if the bits ive missed might be why. I do like to understand why things happen!!!!

Anyone do a study about searching for 'threat items' in airport baggage screening.  I got a place, got through all the information pages and then just before the training part the page wouldn't progress and came up with an error code.  Tried again on another browser and got the same thing at the same page.  I emailed the researcher but heard nothing back.  Very annoying as it was a £7.50 study and the only one I've even seen today.

I did it yesterday but didn't have any problems with it. I used the Edge browser.

 Not sure how you get included in those AI studies. I don't think there can be too many people doing them (maybe a few hundred) as their studies fill up quite slowly considering the decent rate of pay, with some hanging around for several hours. That researcher has been doing various similar studies since last summer so I thought they were probably whitelisting participants who'd done well on those, but I've seen threads on Reddit where some people are getting them despite joining Prolific in the last month or two.

I did that a few days ago, maybe last Friday? No problem for me using Firefox on my old Windows 7 desktop.
