Abstract
It is widely accepted that tests of cognitive ability are capturing the examinee's so-called "maximal performance". However, the literature has paid relatively little attention to the role of motivation/incentivization in mental testing. The proposed work will deploy a novel incentivization scheme to assess which tests/abilities are susceptible to incentivization.
