Data and material for the experiments and the modeling reported in Rothe, Deverett, Mayrhofer, & Kemp (in press). Successful structure learning from observational data. [preprint]
data_by_subject.csv
contains the causal structures that participants inferred in Experiments 1 to 5.
Columns:

in Experiment 1 is not the same participant as subject1

ID of the causal structure drawn by the participant (for all 64 causal structures and their IDs, seegraphs_overview.pdf

Model predictions = model posteriors over graphs (i.e., each posterior sums to 1 within each block)
instructions_outline.pdf
outlines the instructions for Experiment 1 (the footnote "Original" was not shown in the experiment). The instructions for Experiments 2 to 5 were built upon these core instructions (see Table A.1 in the Appendix for an overview and descriptions in the main text for details).
