  research_objective: Propose a loss-function account of stakes effects on knowledge ascriptions and report a new Prolific
    experiment testing whether stakes and probability threshold (70% vs 90%) affect how many rounds of proofreading are required
    for certainty that no typos remain.

      \ him that he can use to check \r\nand make sure there are no typos. There is a lot at stake. The teacher is a stickler\
      \ and guarantees that no one will get an A for the paper if there is a typo. Peter needs an A on the paper to get an\
      \ A for the class, and he needs an A for the class to keep his scholarship. If he loses the scholarship he will have\
      \ to \r\nleave school, which would be devastating for him. So it is extremely important for Peter that there are no\
      \ typos in the paper."
