Cognitive Psychology

This zip file contains data from the 4 experiments reported in Wang, Zevin & Mintz (under review).

Data for Bhatia and Pleskac - Stochasticity, Dynamism, and Context-Dependence in Desirability Ratings (submitted to Cognitive Psychology). The columns correspond to [subject id, rating, deliberation time, NA, RT after prompt, t1, t2, t3, c1, c2, c3] for Experiment 1, and [subject id, first object rating, deliberation time, second object rating, RT after prompt, t1, t2, t3, c1, c2, c3] for Experiment 2. Here t{1,2,3} and c{1,2,3} correspond to target and competitor attributes.

We present data from three experiments using a sequential binary choice task that explore the relationship between two proposed cognitive control functions: set-shifting and place-keeping (i.e., keeping track of one’s place within a sequential task). The task involves switching from one stimulus-response mapping to another across trials, according to a predefined sequence and in the face of occasional brief interruptions. Response-stimulus interval, interruption length and interrupting task were varied. In each study, response time, sequential error type and interruption accuracy were recorded.

Data from Experiment 1, which manipulates list length between 24 and 96 items, normative word frequency (LF vs. HF), and the length of the retention interval.
