This webpage presents an interactive demo of experiments and data for:
Boger, T. and Ullman, T. (In press). What is "where": Physical reasoning informs object location. Open Mind.
A guide page containing the rest of our experiments as done by our participants, a link to our OSF repository, and a link to our pre-print are available here.
Here, you can chose which stimuli type you'd like on each trial (or be given a random image), and then click on "where" you think the object is. After you click on an obejct, an image will appear showing where our participants clicked.
Note that the masked objects here have names corresponding to the line drawings from which they are generated, but for participants, the masked objects were given abstract names to remove any semantic content.
Your task: pretend your friend just asked you "where is the object?", and you respond by pointing to it. Please use your mouse to indicate where you would point to.
