dotstask: Data from the Exploring Social Metacognition Dots Task

Description Usage Format Details Source

Description

Data collected from a series of behavioural psychological experiments in which participants view two boxes containing around 200 dots each and make a decision as to whether the left or the right box contains more dots. On most trials, participants receive advice from an advisor and make a final decision. Both the initial and final decision are made on a horizontal bar with the extremes representing certainty that the box on that side had the most dots, and the middle region representing relative uncertainty.
