Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Country outlines were presented on the screen, and the participant was asked to type the correct name of the country in the text box. Normative accuracy and response time scores (see below for more details) of the three depicted countries are shown in the table below the figure.

Table 1

Column names and descriptions for the full dataset.

COLUMNDESCRIPTION
rtThe response time in ms, measured by first key press (unless the backspace key was used, in which case we report an infinite response time (Inf))
trial_indexThe index of the current trial
time_elapsedThe time elapsed in ms since the start of the experiment
participant_numberA unique id for each participant
idA unique id for each country outline item
presentation_start_timeThe start time of the trial, in ms elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
answerThe name of the presented country outline
correctA binary accuracy of the response
backspace usedA logical variable indicating whether the backspace key was used in the response
responseThe response entered by the participant
attemptA binary variable indicating if the participant gave a response of at least two characters in length
rt_under_800A variable indicating if the participant responded within 800 ms from stimulus presentation
Table 2

Column names and descriptions for the normative data file.

COLUMNDESCRIPTION
answerThe name of the presented country outline
accuracyThe proportion of correct responses for the current item over all participants
accuracy_sdThe standard deviation for correctness on the current item over all participants
rtThe overall average response time for the current item over all participants in milliseconds (including response times for incorrect responses).
rt_sdThe standard deviation for response times for the current item over all participants in milliseconds

Figure 2

Association between average response times and accuracy. Marginal distributions of response times and accuracy are also shown. Points represent individual items, the gray line represents a linear model capturing the negative association between response times and accuracy scores. The shaded area represents a 95% confidence interval.

Figure 3

Average proportion of correct responses for each country. Uncolored countries were not presented in the current study. Note that this projection is landmass inaccurate: sizes away from the equator are inflated.
