Supporting data for "The Impact of The Naturalness Bias on Vowel Harmony Patterns in Transmission and Communication"

This dataset includes experiment records from Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 of the thesis "The Impact of The Naturalness Bias on Vowel Harmony Patterns in Transmission and Interaction". Files are either in the format of excel or csv. All excel files were generated by Microsoft Excel; All csv files were generated by PsychoPy via Pavlovia.The thesis includes two experiments investigating the effect of naturalness bias on phonological grammar. Both experiments adopted the Artificial Language Learning paradigm: participants were trained with an artificial language designed by the researcher, and then they were tested on how well they have acquired this language. In the testing phase, participants' task was to choose the correct answer out of two choices. For example, after they learned a singular-plural pair - , they were asked whether or is the correct plural form of . As the whole experiment was done with a computer program, their selection was recorded for each question. For example, in file [20230308_HKT1300_0023_iterative_2023-03-08_13h15.49.555] Column "mouse_2.clicked_name", "circle_2_a" and "circle_2_b" indicate that the participant has chosen Selection A (e.g., ) or Selection B (e.g., ) respectively. Thus, based on these datasets, we can calculate their accuracy rate to measure their learning outcomes.

本数据集收录了论文《自然度偏见对传递与互动中元音和谐模式的影响》中第1次和第2次实验的实验记录。数据文件格式为Excel或CSV。所有Excel文件均由Microsoft Excel生成；所有CSV文件均由PsychoPy通过Pavlovia平台生成。该论文包含两个实验，旨在探究自然度偏见对语音语法的效应。两个实验均采纳了人工语言学习范式：参与者接受了由研究者设计的虚拟语言训练，随后接受了测试，以评估其语言习得效果。在测试阶段，参与者的任务是自两个选项中选择正确答案。例如，在学会单复数对 - 之后，他们将被告知是否 或 是 的正确复数形式。鉴于整个实验均通过计算机程序进行，每个问题的选择将被记录。例如，在文件 [20230308_HKT1300_0023_iterative_2023-03-08_13h15.49.555] 中，"mouse_2.clicked_name"、"circle_2_a"和"circle_2_b"列表明参与者选择了选项A（例如，）或选项B（例如，）。据此，我们可以基于这些数据集计算其准确率，以衡量其学习成果。
