Study Design Participants
Shoppers in a New Jersey mallSugarcane farmers in India
Test cognitive capacity during financial stressThinking through car repairs ($150 / $1500)Before and after harvest
Achieving the Dream | OER Degree Initiative 41
Results Considering a financial decision affects people's
performance on unrelated spatial and reasoning tasks.
Lower-income individuals performed poorly if the repairs were expensive but did fine if the cost was low.
Sugarcane farmers performed the same tasks better after harvest than before.
