{ "pk": 24110, "title": "(In)Accuracy of Human-Generated Correlations in A Scatterplot Drawing Task", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Previous research on perception of correlation of scatterplots used scatterplots as stimuli and asked participants to estimate or compare correlations of those scatterplots. This literature has shown a tendency for people to underestimate correlation in some correlation ranges. We flipped the task: instead of estimating correlation from visual stimuli, participants drew a scatterplot based on a given correlation: 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 using 20 dots. Participants drew greater correlations for r = 0.25 and r = 0.5 (0.59 and 0.71 respectively), which is analogous to underestimating correlation in previous viewing tasks. Drawn correlations for r = 0, 0.75 and 1 were more accurate. The number of statistics courses taken did not improve correlation drawing accuracy in a strong or meaningful way. We discuss possible interpretations of these results and future directions.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Education; Psychology; Human-computer interaction; Perception; Sketch understanding; Qualitative Analysis" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/49m756r5", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Lucy", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Cui", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "UCLA", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Ching-Yi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wang", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Academic", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Yiwei", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wang", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Peike", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Li", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Medha", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kini", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Zili", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Liu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "UCLA", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2024-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24110/galley/13704/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24110/galley/20866/download/" } ] }
