Abstract
A forced-choice arithmetical estimation task was devised. The task included three units of 50 addition problems each. To each unit of the task a different payoff matrix was attached. Twenty Ss participated in the experiment. It was found that estimation under severe time limits was correct in about 70% of the items. No effects of the different payoff matrices was found. Ss showed perfect probability matching in their estimation behavior.
