Figure 6

Soft blocks vs. hard blocks performance for five different metrics. All y-axes represent soft performance and all x-axes represent hard performance. For all panels, axes have been scaled/reversed such that better performance is to the top and right. Each open square marker represents a different participant. Larger filled square markers represent the average of all participants and the error bars represent 95% confidence intervals of the respective averaged data. The dotted 1:1 line in each plot represents equal performance between soft and hard blocks. Markers that lie above the dotted 1:1 line in the shaded orange region labelled soft indicate that participant performance for that metric was better for soft blocks, whereas markers that lie below the dotted 1:1 line in the shaded purple region labelled hard indicate that participant performance for that metric was better for hard blocks. Subplots 6a and 6c show statistically better performance for soft blocks than hard blocks, with labelled p-values indicating the significance level. The label “prob.” denotes probability.
