Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. *P <.05; **P < .01. (a) Yoghurt sampled from light spoons is perceived as denser than the same yoghurt when sampled from a heavy spoon. (b) Yoghurt sampled from a light spoon is perceived as more expensive than the same yoghurt sampled from the heavy spoon.
