Modeling Expectation Violation in Intuitive Physics with Coarse Probabilistic Object Representations (Exp 1)
Participants watched short physics videos depicting expected or expectation-violating events and rated how surprising each event was on a 0-100 slider. Stimuli span eight violation scenarios (create, vanish, overturn long/short, discontinuous visible/invisible, delay, block) and four object categories.
