Miscommunication in Joint Action: Code for Paxton*, Roche*, Ibarra, & Tanenhaus (2021)

This repo contains the code for the analyses presented in our manuscript, "Predictors of miscommunication in verbal communication during collaborative joint action" (Paxton*, Roche*, Ibarra, & Tanenhaus, 2021, Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research).

Overview

The repo contains several analysis files, an R markdown, a markdown file, and figures.

• miscommunication_in_joint_action.Rmd: R markdown with all data preparation, analysis, and visualization presented in our manuscript. Note that it includes the unstandardized models that are mentioned but (for brevity) not included in the manuscript itself.
• miscommunication_in_joint_action.md: A markdown file generated by the R markdown of the same name. We recommend that you open this version to view in your browser.
• ./code/libraries_and_functions-MJA.r: Loads in necessary libraries and creates new functions for our analyses.
• ./dictionaries/assent_negation_dictionary-MJA.csv: List of assent and negation words.
• ./dictionaries/nltk_stopwords_list-MJA.csv: List of stopwords from the NLTK Python toolkit.
• ./dictionaries/spatial_word_list-MJA.csv: List of spatial words.
• ./figures/: Figures generated by the miscommunication_in_joint_action.Rmd file.

Note on data

Due to IRB restrictions, we are unable to openly share the data for the project.

Notes on running and viewing

For best viewing in a browser, we recommend selecting the coordination-and-miscommunication.md, rather than the similarly named .Rmd file. (Analyses should be run using the .Rmd file of the same name.)

For those unfamiliar with R markdown, we recommend taking a look at RStudio's introduction to R markdown before attempting to run the .Rmd file. (Be sure to download RStudio first, if you do not already have it installed on your machine.)
