The central result
Correlation between the overall simplicity order and each pattern's number of subsymmetries:
—
Spearman ρ (subsymmetries)
—
Spearman ρ (block count, for comparison)
—
Kendall's W across the 5 orders
The original paper found ρ = .808 for subsymmetries and only ρ = .198 for block count — the whole point of the paper was that subsymmetries explain simplicity much better than either symmetry or block count alone.
Not enough overlapping data yet to compute the overall order and correlations — need at least
patterns with data in at least two experiments. Take part in more
experiments to help get there!
Pairwise agreement between experiments
Spearman's ρ between each pair of rank orders (paper's Table 3).
