Cognitive judgments. Participants answered questions about commonly experienced values. Unlike in Experiment 2, participants viewed each question multiple times, comparing each against both a low (25.5) and high (75.5) comparison value to create 40 trial cases. As in Experiment 1, decisions were requested on all trials, but only 30% of trials were randomly selected to include a direct estimate.

Trial

Trial ID based on order of presentation

QID

ID for the target question of that trial. Note that these IDs match those of the calibration data.

Question

Question text for that trial

Region

Expected region for that question, being either high or low

Answer

Unbiased answer for that question from calibration data

Boundary

Comparison value for that trial

Decision
