Respository contents

• data contains cleaned and anonymized data for both experiments. See data/README.md for codebook.
• analysis contains code to preprocess raw experiment data + model outputs, and code to reproduce all the analyses and plots in the paper
  • To reproduce analyses and plots, run analysis/run_stats.sh. Stats will be saved in analysis/outputs and figures will be saved in writing/outputs.
  • To preprocess raw data from the experiment, see analysis/preprocess/README.md.
• writing contains the figures
  • writing/outputs contains the plot outputs directly from the analysis scripts, and writing/figs.pdf contains the figure files as is in the paper.
• experiments contains the code for running both experiments
• model contains the WebPPL code for the simulations
  • To reproduce model simulations, run model/exp1/run_simulation.sh and model/exp2/run_simulation.sh. Outputs will be saved in model/exp1/output and model/exp2/output.
