We evaluated several animations for transitions between scatter plots in a crowd-sourcing study. We published the results in a paper and provide additional information within this supplemental material. Contents:

Tables that did not fit into the original paper, due to page limits. An anonymized print-out of the preregistration. The original preregistration is available at OSF (DOI) and on the internet archive. Videos demonstrating the tasks used in the study:

used to record samples for the study, used for participant training, and used to detect distracted participants and bots.

An interactive demonstration of all study tasks (including training and attention checks). The source code is contained within the directory ./interactive-demo/ of this supplemental material and also available at GitHub. The animation library that we used for the study. We also include a test page for readers to use with their own data sets. The source code is contained within the directory ./animation-library/ of this supplemental material and also avialable at GitHub. The list of nonsensical statements that we used for attention checks on Prolific. The statistical tests with the recorded study data, some of which we reported in the main paper. We also provide reports from the preliminary power analysis that we performed to determine the number of participants for the study. The recorded pseudo-anonymized study data for further analysis.
