Weights Judging Data

Description

Fifty subjects were presented with all 20 ordered pairs of bottles filled with lead shot and asked to choose the bottle that felt heavier. The weight of the bottles was 90, 95, 100, 105, and 110 grams, respectively. Choice frequencies were aggregated across subjects for the two within-pair presentation orders.

Usage

data(heaviness)

Format

A 3d array consisting of two square matrices:

heaviness[,,"order1"]
holds the choices where the row stimulus was presented first for each pair (in the upper triangle, and vice versa in the lower triangle).
heaviness[,,"order2"]
holds the choices where the column stimulus was presented first for each pair (in the upper triangle, and vice versa in the lower triangle).
