Neuroscientist Kiyohito Iigaya and colleagues developed a computational model to predict how much a person will enjoy a particular work of art on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much). They then recruited participants to use the same scale to rate several sets of paintings in various styles and calculated the correlation between the ratings predicted by the model and those reported by the participants. Assuming participant P3 gave equal ratings to the abstract and cubist paintings, the data in the graph indicate the model predicted that __________

Which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to complete the example?

A

P3 would derive more aesthetic pleasure from cubist paintings than from abstract paintings.

B

P3’s rating for abstract and cubist paintings would equal one another.

C

P3 would derive less aesthetic pleasure from cubist paintings than from abstract paintings.

D

P3’s ratings for abstract and cubist paintings would differ from one another.
