Mouse-tracking is regarded as a powerful technique to investigate latent cognitive and emotional states. However, drawing inferences from this manifold data source carries the risk of several pitfalls, especially when using aggregated data rather than single-trial trajectories. Researchers might reach wrong conclusions because averages lump togethe...

... upon movement start. The question was whether previously observed effects persist when only taking these latter movements into account. Our classification was implemented by excluding all movements with x-values going below the lowest x-value of the starting area, resulting in a vertical cutoff line touching the starting area on the left (see Fig. 2). This criterion classified more incompatible than compatible trials as multi-step movements, which is consistent with responsetime studies reporting more commission errors with incompatible action-effect mappings than with compatible mappings (e.g., Kunde, ...
