Intuitive physical reasoning about objects’ masses transfers to a visuomotor decision task consistent with Newtonian physics

Press-times as function of initial distance to target.
Press-times for all participants by condition and experimental phase are shown with data points in black and Newtonian relationship with perfect knowledge about the involved parameters in blue. The top row shows the data of subjects in the light-to-heavy condition and the bottom row shows the data of subjects in the heavy-to-light condition. (A) Press-times of participants in the first phase (“prior”), (B) second phase (“feedback”) for the yellow puck, (C) second phase (“feedback”) for the red puck, (D) third phase (“no feedback”), and (E) last phase (”collisions and no feedback”) after having seen 24 collisions.
