Data of The Balance-Scale task (paper-and-pencil and Math Garden)

Paper: The Balance-Scale Task Revisited: A Comparison of Statistical Models for Rule-Based and Information-Integration Theories of Proportional Reasoning Abe Hofman, Ingmar Visser, Brenda Jansen & Han van der Maas; 15-2-2015 ————————————————————————The “dataBS.Rdata” file include four dataframes based on two different datasets: A paper-and-pencil dataset collected by Jansen & van der Maas (1997), and a online dataset collected with the Math Garden. Description of the for dataframes: 1) student_info_pp: Student information of paper-and-pencil dataset - id = student id - age = student age 2) student_info_mg: Student information of Math Garden dataset - id = student id - age = student age - new = student has not played the task before data collection started - practise = number of items made by students before the data collection started 3) responses_pp: Response information of paper-and-pencil dataset in long format 4) responses_mg: Response information of Math Garden dataset in long format - id = student id - it = item id - item_type = item type as defined in paper - product_difference = difference between the product of weights and distance on each side of the fulcrum - weight_difference = difference between the weights on each side of the fulcrum - distance_difference = difference between the distance of the weights on each side of the fulcrum - resp = response; left, balance, right - cor = 0 incorrect; 1 correct
