Dataset overview
This dataset includes 80 participants (65 female, 13 male, and 2 nonbinary participants; mean age = 19.99 years, SD = 3.14, range = 18–35 years) and 48000 trials in total. The instruction condition is stored as instructions in both files. Its code-to-condition mapping and group sample sizes:
instructions | Condition | Participants |
|---|---|---|
0 | Not Instructed | 41 |
1 | Instructed | 39 |
1. Trial file: processed_data_2026.csv
Each row corresponds to one trial.
Column | Description and values |
|---|---|
subject | Participant identifier, stored as a three-character string (e.g., 006). |
session | Session identifier (e.g., 22121620). Each participant has one session in this dataset. |
trial | Trial number within the session; between 0 and 599. |
instructions | Instruction condition: 1 = instructed, 0 = not instructed. |
probabilityLeft | Probability of the target assigned to the left side in the current block: 0.2, 0.5, or 0.8. These sequences were pre-generated, see the Methods section of the preprint. |
contrastLeft, contrastRight | Rescaled contrast on each side: 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, or 1, corresponding to displayed contrasts of 50%, 52%, 55%, 60%, and 70%, respectively. |
choice | Response: 1 = left, 📤 Share this pageFound this useful? Share it with your network.
