4.1 Data set information (Read me)

The data set contains the following columns:

  • sID: an anonymous subject identifier

  • Side_initial: a counterbalancing factor coding whether initial robot arm reached the initial object from left or right side.

  • Transformation: factor coding what transformation of the critical object subjects saw (varied between subjects)

  • Side: a counterbalancing factor coding whether the symmetry object was on the left or the right side.

  • Value: subjects’ response. “1” means that the “left” object was selected. “2” means that the right object was selected.

  • Attention_Confirmation: in the beginning of the experiment, subjects were asked to confirm that they would be willing to pay attention during the study. “1” means “I confirm that I will take my participation in this study seriously.” and “2” means “I confirm that I will not take my participation in this study seriously.” Only subjects who selected “1” were registered and included in the analyses.

  • Age: subjects’ age in years

  • Sex: subjects’ sex. 1 = male, 2 = female, 3 = non-binary, 4 = prefer not to say.

  • Tech_errors: subjects’ responses to a question asking for experienced technical problems during the experiment.

  • Duration: the time (in seconds) that it took subjects to finish the study.
