One and only SNARC? Spatial-Numerical Associations are not fully flexible and depend on both relative and absolute number magnitude | Royal Society Open Science
Numbers are associated with space, but it is unclear how flexible these associations are. We investigated whether the SNARC effect (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes; Dehaene et al. 1993...

37% of plots in Psychological Bulletin were raincloud plots in 2023! 😮
The Raincloud Quartet (new pre-print)

All N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27.
One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049.

Only raincloud plots reveal the qualitative differences, preventing the drawing of inappropriate conclusions.

How did we create the quartet?
Where are data & code?

Gave a talk on the flexibility of Spatial-Numerical Associations at the #MCLS2024 today 😊💪🏼 As you can read in our preprint, both relative and absolute number magnitude determine the SNARC effect: osf.io/79zsy/files/... 🤯🤔 Thanks to my collaborators, especially to @krzysztofcipora.bsky.social 🥰🙌🏼

Paper by Schmukle 19 (!) years ago came to the same conclusion:

“Estimates of both internal consistency and retest reliability lead to the conclusion that the dot probe task is a completely unreliable measure of attentional allocation”

Paper alert: across 10k participants & 36 versions of the emotional dot probe task, task *reliability* cannot be distinguished from 0 (!).

Raises very serious questions about the literature (how did so many find positive relations between this task and other variables).
