grtools: Analyze perceptual independence using general recognition theory (a.k.a. multidimensional signal detection theory) in R

by Fabián Soto

Dear colleagues, We have developed a new R package, called grtools, that can be used to analyze psychophysical data to determine the independence and separability of perceptual dimensions. The analyses use general recognition theory (GRT; a.k.a multidimensional signal detection theory) to test for perceptual independence and separability while controlling for the influence of decisional processes. We designed the package to be easy to use for non-experts. Thus, full analyses can be performed through only a couple of commands. grtools provides functions for the following analyses: 1. Model-based analyses of separability and independence using the GRT-wIND (GRT with INdividual Differences) model of identification data. 2. Model-based analyses of separability and independence using traditional GRT models of identification data. 3. Summary statistics analyses (i.e., Kadlec's MSDA) of identification data. 4. Summary statistics analyses of data from the Garner filtering task. For more information and instructions on how to install the package, please visit the following page: https://github.com/fsotoc/grtools Best, Fabian A. Soto F. Gregory Ashby -- Fabian A.

Request for pictures of facial expressions from Asians and Africans

by Anjuli Barber

Dear all, I am currently searching for validated databases, from which I can extract pictures of Asians and Africans. I would need an angry and happy face from every person. The pictures should be coloured and portraits would be nice but not compulsorily necessary as I can crop them myself. In total I would need just 20 pairs while 10 should be male and 10 should be female. These pictures will be used in an experiment with pet dogs at a touchscreen to investigate if they can read and distinguish emotions. Can somebody tell me, where I can get such pictures? Or maybe somebody has such pictures and can help me out? Thanks in advance for the help. Cheers, Anjuli -- M.Sc.
