Experimental Data on Action-Mediated Space-Time Perception

Data from a psychology experiment investigating how active control influences the interaction between spatial and temporal perception. The study includes participant data from conditions where visual bar height changes were either actively controlled or passively observed, with simultaneous judgments on acoustic tone sequences. The dataset supports the hypothesis that action enhances the coupling of spatial and temporal magnitude processing in the brain.

Use Cases

• Analyze the bias in perceived tone rate (temporal magnitude) as a function of changes in visual bar height (spatial magnitude) across experimental conditions.
• Compare the strength of the space-time interaction between the 'Action' condition, where participants directly controlled bar height, and the 'No Action' condition.
• Investigate how the magnitude of the grip force action scales the observed perceptual bias between spatial and temporal judgments.
• Examine whether a monotonic mapping between grip force and bar height is a required condition for the observed crossmodal bias.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled experimental design with distinct 'Action' and 'No Action' conditions.
• The study includes follow-up experiments designed to rule out alternative explanations like attentional factors.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC0-1.0, facilitating reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• The specific data structure, including column names, row count, and file formats, is not provided in the input.
• Sample size and demographic details of the participant pool are unknown, limiting generalizability assessments.
• Data is from a single study published in 2020, with no indication of subsequent updates or replications.
