Reading a graph is like reading a paragraph

Boger, T. and Franconeri, S. L. (2024).
Reading a graph is like reading a paragraph.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 153(7), 1699-1704.

Below, you will find links to the experiments we performed. Each data vignette contains two experiments; one in which the graph hides the improbable relationship (i.e., makes it harder to notice), and one in which the graph implicitly highlights the improbable relationship.

• Phone vignette: Hides improbable relationship, highlights improbable relationship
• Menu vignette: Hides improbable relationship, highlights improbable relationship
• Age vignette: Hides improbable relationship, highlights improbable relationship
• Age (2x2, exploratory) vignette: Hides improbable relationship, highlights improbable relationship
