 abstract = {This report presents a user study, in which we compare the behaviour
	for setting and clearing the table in reality and in a simulated,
	computer-game-like environment. The aim was to examine the potential
	of using a computer-game-like simulation for user studies on cognition,
	in particular for robot-centred studies on human-robot interaction,
	but also other areas such as studies about context-specific and context-independent
	behaviour. A simulation allows the creation of a large number of
	environments at low cost and enables comparisons of behaviour in
	reality and simulation. In the present pilot study we have considered
	three points of interest: 1) the differences in user skills with
	the used simulation, 2) comparison of human behaviour in simulation
	and reality performing everyday activities, and 3) comparison of
	behaviour in different simulated environments.},
