Behavioral Analysis Code

All code required to reproduce behavioral results and plots presented in the paper is in a Jupyter Notebook under ./code

Data

All behavioral data with descriptions of the variables is under ./data

• Data is in a single csv file: behavioral_data.csv
• Variable names with descriptions can be found in variable_definitions.docx

Task

All files used to run experimental task in Cogent are under ./task Cogent required Matlab to run and can be downloaded here: http://www.vislab.ucl.ac.uk/cogent.php

• infotask_main.m runs the task.
• the stimuli are in ./task/images.
• run_IG_trial.m is used in the main task script to run a single trial.
• make_blocks.m is used in the main task script to pseudo-randomise cue presentation.
• generate_schedule.m is used in the main task script to generate variables necessary for each trial.
