Thanks Miguel and Mike. Sure is a cluttered page, but it might indeed be useful
to help students understand confounds and other control issues. I still find

With regards to the twins and gum chewing, I agree that animacy/stasis is a big
factor. The one not chewing gum often looks like a zombie. Another, probably
smaller factor: the one chewing gum is always on the right. I would expect a
right/left bias of some sort to be in play here.
