Abstract

This dataset contains anonymised data from an online visual search experiment examining the effects of environmental clutter and task difficulty on reaction time and accuracy. Participants completed a visual search task in which they located a target object within images of desk workspaces presented under varying levels of clutter and difficulty. The dataset includes participant demographics, trial-level reaction time and accuracy data, subjective difficulty ratings used as a manipulation check, and responses to a custom Everyday Clutter Scale assessing typical clutter in participants’ home environments. Data were collected using Gorilla Experiment Builder and cleaned prior to analysis.
