DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
--------------------

This dataset contains:

The dataset includes raw and normalised cleaned data for each participant in the experiment (N = 30).
Responses were magnitude estimates (in arbitrary units) for pairs of stimuli (size / weight combinations) in each trial. 

Stimuli were coded 1 to 2, corresponding to: 1) Left stimulus, 2) Right stimulus in each pair. 

Conditions were coded 1 to 3, corresponding to: 1) Equal density 2) Equal weight 3) Increasing density.

Volume is reported in cubic centimetres.

Weight is reported in grams.

Responses: different for raw and normalised cleaned data
raw_data:
Responses are reported in arbitrary units

norm_clean_data:
Responses are reported in grams
