There are some experimental papers that provide a purported profit opportunity and see which, if any, test subjects recognize it. The Demmert-Klein experiment (followed up here) is an example. I recently reviewed a paper that reported on a classroom experiment in which students playing a computer game had an opportunity to break the formal rules of the game for extra gain, trying to understand who would do this and why. Can’t reveal the details, unfortunately.

I realize this isn’t exactly what you’re after, but presumably some of these laboratory simulations could be modified to pick up some count measure (e.g., how many opportunities did the subject discover).
