The dataset includes all the behavioral data for all the three tasks used in the study: Lexical Decision, Familiarity Judgement and Recognition.

Raw data used for all analyses in the associated manuscript. Please consult the variable descriptions file for information about variable names, labels, and values, etc.

We included all the data we used in our paper.

We report three structural priming experiments that examine the lexical representations of particle verbs and their root verbs. We therefore tested whether priming is boosted by lexical overlap between prime and target verb. In Experiment 1, we had six prime sentences (with two structures (DO vs. PO) and three prime verbs (Root verb vs. Particle verb vs. Different verb) and one target picture with the root verbs as target verbs. Therefore, in data 'E1.txt', there are three colums called "condition(6 levels)", "syn(DO/PO), "verb(root,part,diff)". In Experiment 2, we had eight prime sentences (with two structures (DO vs. PO) and three prime verbs (Root verb vs. Particle verb vs. Different verb vs. Different-Particle verb) and one target picture with the particle verbs as target verbs. Therefore, in data 'E2.txt', there are three colums called "condition(8 levels)", "syn(DO/PO), "verb(root,part,diff,diffpart)". In Experiment 3, we had six prime sentences (with two structures (DO vs. PO) and three prime verbs (Different Root verb vs. Particle verb vs. Different verb) and one target picture with the particle verbs as target verbs. Therefore, in data 'E3.txt', there are three colums called "condition(6 levels)", "syn(DO/PO), "verb(diffroot,part,diff)". We also included the code scripts for three experiments and experimental materials in this data set.

This data set was collected through a series of four blank-screen eye-tracking paradigm to investigate the encoding and refreshing of linguistically focused elements in Working Memory. Fur further details contact Tamas Kaldi. kaldi.tamas@nytud.mta.hu

The data for Experiments 1-3

Supplementary materials contain raw data sets (with potentially identifying information about participants, such as their MTurk IDs, removed) for the three experiments reported in the manuscript and a PDF file listing all the experimental materials used in these experiments.

The current study has empirical, methodological, and theoretical components. It draws heavily on two recent papers: Bowers et al. (2016) (JML, 87, 71-83) used results from selective adaptation experiments to argue that phonemes play a critical role in speech perception. Mitterer et al. (2018) (JML, 98, 77-92) responded with their own adaptation experiments to advocate instead for allophones. These studies are part of a renewed use of the selective adaptation paradigm. Empirically, the current study reports results that demonstrate that the Bowers et al. findings were artifactual. Methodologically, the renewed use of adaptation in the field is a positive development, but many recent studies suffer from a lack of knowledge of prior adaptation findings. As the use of selective adaptation grows, it will be important to draw on the considerable existing knowledge base (this literature is also relevant to the currently popular research on phonetic recalibration). Theoretically, for a half century there has been a recurring effort to demonstrate the psychological reality of various linguistic units, such as the phoneme or the allophone. The evidence is that listeners will use essentially any pattern that has been experienced often enough, not just the units that are well-suited to linguistic descriptions of language. Thus, rather than trying to identify any special perceptual status for linguistic units, psycholinguists should focus their efforts on more productive issues.
