Data and Analysis Unit: EXE5
Last update: 2014-10-24 by Andy Wills
Description
Match-to-standards classification task with digit-counting concurrent load task,
reported in Wills et al. (2013, QJEP, Experiment 1A).
This DAU contains stimulus files, raw data,
and an analysis script, in open
cross-platform formats (see the file format notes)

Resources
- exe5stim.tbz (69 KB) - Stimulus image files.
- exe5stimAudio.tbz (2.2 MB) - Audio files for concurrent load task.
- exe5data.csv (239 KB) - Trial-level raw data. Reaction time for
observing the prototypes (prior to presentation of to-be-classified stimulus)
was not recorded. Column headings are as follows:
- cond: Experimental condition. "load" = Concurrent load, "noload" = No current load.
- subj: Participant number (unique within EXE5)
- phase: Experiment phase. "prac" = practice phase, "exp" = main phase.
- block: Experiment block (starts at zero for practice block)
- trial: Trial number (resets between blocks)
- stim: The to-be-classified stimulus presented, numbers refer to stimulus file names in exe5stim.tbz (in the
practice phase, 98 = picture of left-hand response key, 99 = picture of right-hand response key )
- resp: Participant's classification response (A = category A, B = category B)
- rt: Participant's reaction time for classification response (in milliseconds)
- rtiti: Time between participants classification response and them pressing SPACE to begin the next trial
(in milliseconds)
- exe5classic.csv (1 KB) - Subject-level raw data for the classic "combined"
analysis used in match-to-standard tasks. This is where each block is classified as UD, OS, or Other, on the basis of
both the objective sort produced, and the participant's description of that sort (see paper for details). Participants'
descriptions were not archived for this study.
- exe5analysis.R (4 KB) - R script for the analyses of Wills et al. (2013, QJEP).
Further resources
The following resources are not formally part of the archive, either because they do not use open formats,
or because they have not been thoroughly bug-checked, or both. They are provided in case others
find them useful, with absolutely no warranty!
- exe5eprimeMTS.tbz (38 KB) - Code for running the Experiment 1A
match-to-standards task under
E-prime 2.0. Developed from original code used in experiment, which was E-Prime 1. This E-prime 2 version has not
been thoroughly bug-checked.
- exe5eprimeLoad.tbz (9 KB) - Code for running the
Experiment 1A concurrent load task under
E-prime 2.0. Developed from original code used in experiment, which was E-Prime 1. This E-prime 2 version has not
been thoroughly bug-checked. Requires audio files in exe5stimAudio.tbz to be extracted from that archive and
placed in same directory as ES2 file. Must be run on a different computer to exe5eprimeMTS.tbz, with a parallel port
connection between the two computers (MTS program starts and stops digit stream through this link).
