The project was comprised of 7 studies, denoted in this repo and in the manuscript as studies 1-7. Study 4 is comprised of 3 components, denoted throughout the repo as generation, comparisons, and ratings:
- generation corresponds to the portion of the study in which participants freely generate category members
- comparisons corresponds to the portion of the study in which participants list similarities and differences between category members
- ratings corresponds to the portion of the study in which participants rate how well various features describe different category members
Preprocessing is done on the raw data from each study to produce the clean data for analysis. The analysis code for each study can be found in the data_analysis directory. In this directory, analyses on the data from each study are conducted in the main_analysis.py file. Analyses included in supplementary materials can be found in the supplementary_analysis.py file.
