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

Fig 4

Hierarchical Bayesian network for the Newtonian interaction model.

The model expresses the generative process of observed press-times across trials i, participants j, and pucks k including Weber-Fechner scaling given perceptual uncertainties of distance x_i,j and mass m_j,k of the pucks and subjects’ press-time variability. The parameter values refer to the prior probability distributions. See the text for details.
