Abstract/Results: | ABSTRACT:
A small articulating robot driven by an on-board miniaturized random event generator (REG) executes two-dimensional stochastic motion on a circular platform. Human operators attempt, under pre-recorded intentions, to influence the device to reach particular exit positions around the table edge, or to remain in motion on the table for longer, or shorter, time periods, or to cover longer, or shorter, overall distances than characterize a large body of unattended calibration data. An overhead camera system tracks the robot trajectories and transmits them to database storage for subsequent analysis. Each of several protocols yields overall results that clearly separate in the directions of operator intention, with effect sizes comparable to those found in many other REGbased experiments. Although the databases are not sufficiently large to drive all of these to statistical significance by the usual p < .05 criterion, certain operator subsets, most notably the females, the groups, and a few individuals, display more noteworthy performances. The consistency of this structural pattern of results with those obtained previously using substantially different
equipment and protocols reinforces a generic character of such phenomena that eventually may lead to a useful comprehensive model for their representation and possible pragmatic applications.
