Steps to reproduce
Participants were tested in three groups: control (no demo), dog demonstrator and human demonstrator. Handedness of the participants was recorded. The demonstrators always chose the opposite side to perform a detour around the obstacle compared to the handedness of the participant. Main dependent variable was the route choice of the participant (left/right ; congruent/non-congruent with demo). We also measured the latency of performing a detour. gender of the participants was also recorded.
