Majority vote reward scheme improves spatial location identification tasks

抄録

We evaluate accuracy and reliability in a spatial location identification task (SpLIT) when workers know that their reward scheme is a majority vote (MV) reward scheme before processing SpLIT and when workers do not know that their reward scheme is MV before processing SpLIT. This evaluation was made to clarify how MV affects accuracy and reliability in SpLIT. When MV motivates workers, accuracy and reliability will be different in each condition. The answers of workers who knew that their reward scheme was MV before processing SpLIT had lower accuracy but higher reliability than the answers of workers who did not know this. We concluded that MV influences SpLIT by motivating workers.
