Table 7.

Average score of task difficulty across groups at different stages (before and after) in Phase 2

Difficulty Rating AllocHum_LocHum AllocHum_LocSys AllocSys_LocHum AllocSys_LocSys
Before Phase 2 M = 2.43 SD = 1.15 M = 2.37 SD = 1.14 M = 2.97 SD = 0.92 M = 2.81 SD = 0.75
After Phase 2 M = 2.12 SD = 0.8 M = 2.12 SD = 0.95 M = 2.43 SD = 0.15 M = 2.31 SD = 1.07

Rating scale: 1 (very easy) to 5 (very difficult). All groups rated the difficulty of Phase 2 as easier after they performed it compared to before, indicating an initial overestimation of task difficulty
