Abstract: The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is used in behavioural studies to describe individuals as intuitive or reflective. In recent years, behavioural scientists have increasingly recruited participants on online platforms. Besides convenience, apt platform recruitment is believed to increase validity and facilitate more meaningful inferences towards the population of interest compared to studies based on students. But particularly with regard to CRT, there is an often-underestimated drawback: ‘experienced clickers’ might systematically distort findings.
