Neupärtl N, Tatai F, Rothkopf CA (2020) Intuitive physical reasoning about objects’ masses transfers to a visuomotor decision task consistent with Newtonian physics. PLOS Computational Biology 16(10): e1007730. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007730

It contains data of the corresponding visuomotor task and explanation of each measured variable:

• Trial: trial number specific for each subject in each phase starting at 1. In phase 2 common iterator for both pucks present, alternating all 4 trials.

• Subject: anonymous participant code.

• StartPos.: uniformly drawn starting position of the puck in range of 0-4 meters from zero point and 1-5 meters from target's bullseye.

• EndPos.: halt position of puck after being propelled.

• DistToTar.: initial distance to target.

• DistMoved: actually propelled distance.

• PressTime: participant's press duration.

• AbsError: absolute error in missing the target's bullseye.

• Error: error in missing the target's bullseye.

• Condition: condition stating the type of experiment participants were in: 1) Light-to-Heavy & 2) Heavy-to-Light (order of puck's mass magnitudes by their appearance)

• Phase: phase of the experiment: 1) prior phase 2) feedback 3) no-feedback 4) no-feedback after watching collisions

• Puck: texture of the puck

• Mass: puck's mass
