Thank you. I realized, as soon as I posted it, that the method of obtaining the sequence would not matter (as the previous commenter rightly said), but somehow, the ‘feeling of a question’ remained. I was not thinking of showing them part of ‘the sequence so far’… But it might be fun to determine whether there is any effect on the subject’s choice of knowing this ‘flip’ is a part of a pattern (or not knowing it), of the composition of the revealed pattern, and maybe—if there is an effect—the length of the washout period...
I mean, it’s only a coin flip! The preceding choices should have no bearing on it. It’s, like, the least significant choice you can ever make...
