vizverb: Visual versus Verbal Perception and Responses
In psyntur: Helper Tools for Teaching Statistical Data Analysis

An experiment studying the interaction between visual versus perception and visual versus verbal responses.

vizverb

A data frame with 80 observations on the following 5 variables.

subject: Subject identifying number (s1 to s20)
task: Describe a diagram (visual) or a sentence (verbal)
response: Point response (visual) or say response (verbal)
time: Response time (in seconds)

Subjects carried out two kinds of tasks. One task was visual (describing a diagram), and the other was classed as verbal (reading and describing a sentence sentences). They reported the results either by pointing (a "visual" response), or speaking (a verbal response). Time to complete each task was recorded in seconds.

This data set was taken from the Stats2Data R package. From the description in that package, the original data appear to have been collected in a Mount Holyoke College psychology class based replication of an experiment by Brooks, L., R. (1968) "Spatial and verbal components of the act of recall," Canadian J. Psych. V 22, pp. 349 - 368.
