Perception of the first, rectangular dot lattice should follow the Gestalt law of proximity such that the likelihood to perceive an orientation depends on the shortest interdot distance.
We varied the likelihood to perceive 0° or 90° in the first dot lattice by manipulating the AR of the interdot distance in 7 steps (1.3−1, 1.2−1, 1.1−1, 1, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3).
As the AR of the second stimulus does not favor a particular orientation, one would not expect any differences in the likelihood to perceive a particular orientation, unless the first stimulus exerts an effect onto the second one.
However, participants in observational studies were almost twice as likely to have no formal education as compared to those in clinical trials and this may also explain their higher likelihood to perceive that they would be denied regular medical care if they turned down an invitation to take part in the research studies.
The likelihood to perceive a particular orientation can be controlled by manipulating the evidence for that orientation, that is, the aspect ratio (AR) of the dots (AR = Δ0/Δ90, where Δ0 and Δ90 correspond to the interdot distances along 0° and 90°).

Categories I and II contain items related to perceived likelihood of physical risks, Category III relates to perceived likelihood of the social risks and Category IV relates to perceived likelihood of social benefits [ 22, 23].
Susceptibility to disease was measured with a perceived likelihood to suffer from prompted diseases during the following five years (1 = very unlikely to 5 = very likely).
The gray line shows the likelihood that subjects first perceived 90° and then switched to perceiving 0° in the second stimulus.
Bivariate analysis also show an additional significant association between likelihood to consult a GP and perceived health status (p = 0,019).
Inversely, among children in the non-poor class, the likelihood of being perceived to be in less than very good health status tended to increase with a statistically significantly increase at 17-months of age (probability =1.9% for girls and 2.5% for boys; p < 0.001), followed by non significant associations at 29 and 41 months of age.
The likelihood of being perceived to be in less than very good health status subsequently tended to decrease among children in the chronic poverty class but the association was not statistically significant.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
