REPO: Intuitive physical reasoning about objects’ masses transfers to a visuomotor decision task consistent with Newtonian physics

The repositiroy contains the data associated with the article:

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
