However, the test is closer to significance when behavioral weights are used ( z = 1.76, p = .079, 67% underweight the cues) than when sensory weights are used ( z = − 1.45, p = .147, 43% underweight the cues), as expected according to our simulations if these observers are in fact taking a reliability-weighted average of the cues.
