Questions

would it be fair to say that their results aren�t that left-right symmetrical??? if we take into account this noise, then are their �above�-related results still statistically valid???

a 5x5 matrix isn�t very fine-grained � presumably, this is to make the stats a bit more tractable � but does it affect/undermine their results in the slightest??? I have a confused hunch that even having a 30x30 grid wouldn�t really affect their conclusions at all

I don�t understand how the manipulated/controlled the proximal vs centre-of-mass orientations???

or how they did the wide/tall landmark size in such a fixed-size grid???

none of the models appear to show the important horizontal asymmetry in the empirical results when faced with right-angled triangles, do they???

PC-BB???
