Abstract:  
The current research explores the effects of informing decision-makers of the losses suffered by agents who selected counterproductive risky strategies. It focuses on multi-alternative decisions from experience, given limited prior information concerning the strategy space and the possible outcomes. I will present the results of three experiments.
