Numerical Magnitude Priming Data for Grasping Actions

Getting a grip on numbers: Numerical magnitude priming in object grasping is an experimental psychology dataset by Oliver Lindemann. It contains data from a study investigating the connection between numerical cognition and action planning, where participants performed grasping actions in response to Arabic digits. The results were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance.

Use Cases

• Modeling reaction time differences between precision and power grips based on numerical magnitude priming.
• Analyzing maximum grip aperture kinematics in the presence of large versus small numbers.
• Investigating shared cognitive codes between number representation and action planning within a generalized magnitude system.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a controlled experimental study published in a peer-reviewed journal.
• Study design includes controls for the number of fingers used and a pointing task comparison.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
